How to Make Pesto Omelet In A Pita Pocket

  1. Crack 2 eggs into a bowl and whisk with a fork until light and frothy.
  2. Add a pinch of salt and pepper to the whisked eggs.
  3. Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
  4. Pour the egg mixture into the hot skillet and cook, gently lifting the edges with a spatula to allow uncooked egg to flow underneath, until the omelet is mostly set but still slightly wet on top (about 2-3 minutes).
  5. Spread 2 tablespoons of pesto evenly over one half of the omelet.
  6. Fold the other half of the omelet over the pesto filling.
  7. Warm a pita pocket in a dry skillet or microwave for 15-20 seconds to soften.
  8. Place the folded omelet into the warm pita pocket.
  9. Serve immediately and enjoy! Optional: Add crumbled feta cheese or a sprinkle of red pepper flakes for extra flavor.
