Time 20m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

6 6-inch pita breads
Extra-virgin olive oil
6 large eggs
3/4 cup (6 ounces) mascarpone cheese
Grated zest of 1/2 large lemon
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
3 packed cups (3 ounces) arugula or baby spinach
8 ounces thinly sliced prosciutto

Steps:

  • Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat or preheat a gas or charcoal grill. Brush each side of the pita breads with 1/2 teaspoon olive oil and grill 2 to 3 minutes on each side, until crisp. Remove from the grill and cool slightly. In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium-high heat. Crack the eggs directly into the pan and cook until the egg whites are set, 2 to 3 minutes. Combine the mascarpone cheese, lemon zest, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a small bowl. In a medium bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons olive oil, the lemon juice, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper until smooth. Add the arugula and toss until coated. Spread each pita with 2 tablespoons of the mascarpone mixture. Divide the prosciutto on top. Divide the arugula and mound on top of the prosciutto. Carefully place a fried egg on top of each pita. Season the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper, and serve.

This recipe is a lifesaver on busy mornings! It's so quick and easy to make, and it's always a crowd-pleaser. I love that I can customize it to whatever I have on hand. Today I used some leftover roasted vegetables and cheese, and it was delicious.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my pita bread didn't get crispy. It was still soft and chewy. Not sure what I did wrong.

5 stars! This breakfast pita was everything I was hoping for and more. The pita bread was perfectly crispy, the eggs were fluffy, and the fillings were delicious. I especially loved the combination of avocado and salsa. Will definitely be making this

This was a great way to use up leftover pita bread! I had some plain pitas that were getting stale, and this recipe gave them a new life. The eggs and fillings added a lot of flavor, and the crispy bread held everything together nicely.

I found this recipe to be a bit bland. The pita bread was crispy, but the eggs were dry and the fillings lacked flavor. I think it could use some more herbs or spices to liven it up.
