Spinach-Feta Strapatsada with Pita
Soft scrambled eggs folded with juicy tomato, wilted spinach, salty feta, and oregano, served with warm whole-wheat pita.
Ingredients
- 🥚 4 large eggs
- 🫓 2 large whole-wheat pitas
- 🍅 1 1/2 cups canned crushed tomatoes
- 🌿 2 cups fresh spinach
- 🧀 3 1/2 ounces feta cheese, crumbled
- 🫒 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 🌿 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 🧂 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 🌶️ 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and place the whole-wheat pitas on a baking sheet.
- Warm the pitas in the oven for 5 to 7 minutes, until heated through and flexible, then cover them with a clean towel.
- Crack the eggs into a medium bowl, add the salt and black pepper, and whisk until the yolks and whites are fully blended, about 30 seconds.
- Heat the olive oil in a 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat until it shimmers, about 1 minute.
- Add the crushed tomatoes and oregano, stir, and cook over medium heat for 6 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened and no longer watery.
- Add the spinach and stir for 1 to 2 minutes, until the leaves are wilted and any excess liquid has cooked away.
- Pour the whisked eggs into the skillet and cook over low heat, gently scraping the bottom and folding the eggs every 15 to 20 seconds, for 3 to 5 minutes, until softly set with some glossy curds remaining.
- Remove the skillet from the heat, fold in the feta, and let the eggs rest for 1 minute so they finish setting without becoming dry.
- Divide the strapatsada between two plates and serve each portion with one warm pita.
