🛒 Ingredient Lineup
| Item | Purpose | Amount |
|---|---|---|
| Eggs | Soft, creamy protein base | 3 large |
| Baby spinach | Greens without bitterness | 1 heaping cup |
| Scallions | Fresh, oniony lift | 2, thinly sliced |
| Feta cheese | Salty-tangy burst | 2–3 tbsp, crumbled |

🍳 6-Minute Skillet Game Plan
- Warm the pita.
- Dry-skillet, 30–60 seconds per side. Keep it cozy in a towel.
- Prep your veg.
- Slice scallions. Roughly chop spinach so it wilts fast.
- Whisk eggs with salt and pepper.
- Add a splash of water or milk for extra softness (optional).
- Sauté greens.
- Olive oil + scallions for 30 seconds. Toss in spinach until just wilted.
- Scramble low and slow.
- Drop heat. Add butter (optional). Pour eggs. Stir gently, lazy figure-eights. Keep it glossy, not dry.
- Fold in feta off heat.
- Carryover heat softens cheese without turning it rubbery. Taste and adjust seasoning.
Load everything into the warm pita. Sprinkle chili flakes or dill if you’re feeling extra. Done.
🎨 Remix Ideas
- Mediterranean Melt: Add chopped sun-dried tomatoes + dill.
- Spicy Brunch: Drizzle harissa or hot honey.
- Herby Garden: Fold in parsley + lemon zest.
- Extra Protein: Add smoked salmon or crispy chickpeas.
- Creamy Base: Swipe hummus or tzatziki on the pita first. 🙂
🍽 Texture & Flavor Cheats
- Want creamier eggs? Stir in a spoon of Greek yogurt at the end.
- Want richer flavor? Use half olive oil, half butter.
- Want brighter vibes? Squeeze a little lemon over the spinach before eggs.
- Avoid rubbery eggs: Keep heat low and pull them while slightly underdone. They finish on the plate.

❓ Rapid-Fire FAQ
- Can I meal-prep it?

- Goat cheese for tangy-creamy, ricotta for mild, halloumi cubes if you like squeaky fun.
- Gluten-free?
- Use gluten-free pita or serve in a bowl with roasted potatoes.
- Kid-friendly?
- Skip scallion greens and chili. Add a little cheddar. No shame. 😉
