Pesto Omelet in a Pita Pocket
- 1 egg, large, brown (use any kind you want, really)
- 1 pita bread (approx. 6 inches)
- 1 slice American cheese (hey, it was handy! I think cheddar or Swiss would be even better!)
- 1 tablespoon basil pesto
- Scramble the egg, and cook in med-hi skillet, flipping once midway through.
- Leaving it in a single piece, "omelet style" makes assembly and eating easier and neater.
- While the egg is cooking, wrap pita in a slightly damp dishtowel, and microwave for 20-40 seconds, until warm and pliable (be careful - it's hotter inside, so be careful opening the pita).
- You can leave the pita wrapped in the towel until ready to use it.
- Cut/tear the pita to make a flap of half the diameter of the pita; fold the flap back.
- fold the egg in half; melt the cheese on the egg, or make a cheese omelet if you wish.
- Slide the egg/cheese into the warm, waiting pita, stuffing it gently into the pouch of the bread,.
- Spread the pesto onto the inside of the "flap".
- Fold pita closed, and roll, if desired.
- NOTE: since you are multi-tasking here, I put a single time in the Preparation box, rather than try to split it up.
