Spinach & Feta Scrambled Egg Pitas Recipe
This quick and nutritious meatless meal comes together in just 15 minutes, making it perfect for busy weeknights. The recipe starts with the convenience of frozen chopped spinach, which is packed with iron, magnesium, and vitamins A, C, and K to support strong bones, boost immunity, and promote energy production. Creamy scrambled eggs provide high-quality protein, B vitamins, and choline, essential for brain health and metabolism. Crumbled feta cheese adds a tangy flavor while delivering calcium and probiotics for bone strength and gut health.
The whole-wheat pita, rich in fiber, ensures better digestion and sustained energy throughout the day. Before adding the filling, a layer of sun-dried tomato tapenade is spread onto the pita, offering a burst of bold flavor and a dose of antioxidants, including lycopene, which supports heart health and skin vitality. If tapenade isn’t available, basil pesto or sun-dried tomato pesto works just as well. Together, these ingredients create a satisfying, nutrient-dense dish that’s as delicious as it is wholesome. continue reading
