How to Make Eggcellent Pita

  1. Heat 1 tbsp margarine in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until shiny and slightly soft.
  2. Add the diced potatoes, stir gently to combine, and sprinkle with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp pepper.
  3. Cook until potatoes are golden brown.
  4. Stir in the chopped bell peppers and cook for 2-3 minutes until heated through.
  5. Add hot sauce and ketchup; mix well and cook on low heat for 2 minutes.
  6. Cook bacon until crisp. Remove and drain on paper towels.
  7. In a bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, and remaining 1/2 tsp salt and pepper.
  8. Stir in cottage cheese.
  9. Heat remaining 1 tbsp margarine in a separate frying pan. Pour in the egg mixture and cook for a few minutes, until it starts to set around the edges.
  10. Gently stir the egg mixture, incorporating the cooked potato and pepper mixture.
  11. Continue cooking for 2-3 minutes, checking seasoning. Stir in half of the shredded cheese.
  12. Open each pita bread (or tortilla).
  13. Divide the egg mixture evenly between the two pitas.
  14. Top each pita with two slices of bacon and remaining shredded cheese.
  15. Serve immediately. Enjoy!
