• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Olive oil
• 1 whole Pita bread
• 4 pieces Cherry tomatoes
• 0.5 cups Baby spinach leaves
• 2 tablespoons Grated mozzarella cheese

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, basil pesto, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well combined.

Step 2

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil, swirling to coat the surface of the pan.

Step 3

Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and let it cook undisturbed for about 2-3 minutes, or until the edges start to set.

Step 4

Using a spatula, gently fold the omelet in half, then continue to cook for another 1-2 minutes until the eggs are fully cooked but still fluffy.

Step 5

Meanwhile, warm the pita bread in a toaster or on a dry skillet over low heat for 1-2 minutes until soft and pliable.

Step 6

Slice the cherry tomatoes in half and wash the baby spinach leaves thoroughly.

Step 7

Cut the warmed pita bread in half to create two pockets, and gently open each pocket to make room for the filling.

Step 8

Stuff each pita pocket with half of the cooked omelet, cherry tomato halves, baby spinach leaves, and a sprinkle of grated mozzarella cheese.

Step 9

Serve immediately while warm and enjoy your delicious Pesto Omelet in a Pita Pocket!
