Vegetarian Breakfast Pita Recipe Ingredients and Substitutions
- Pita Bread – I cut the pita bread in half and filled each half with all the ingredients. If your pita bread isn’t hollow inside, you can add the ingredients to one side of the pita and fold it over.
- Hard-Boiled Eggs – Hard-boiled eggs are great for these easy breakfast pitas because you can make them ahead of time and have them on hand in the mornings. You can also use soft-boiled eggs if you prefer.
- Hummus – Hummus adds protein and goes well with hard-boiled eggs. You can use plain or flavored hummus.
- Pesto – I wanted to add additional sauce to the hummus, and pesto sounded like it would go great with all the other flavors and ingredients. You can use homemade or store-bought.
- Feta Cheese – I had some feta cheese on hand, so I added it to these breakfast pitas, but you can omit it if you like. It adds a nice salty creaminess.
- Veggies – I used thinly sliced cucumber, tomato, and red onion, but you can use any fresh vegetables you like.
- Fresh Herbs – I used fresh dill, but any fresh herb works. Fresh herbs add some extra flavor and are nice to use in the summertime.
- Salt and Pepperv – I like to add salt and pepper to the eggs and veggies to ensure they’re well seasoned.
How To Make Easy Vegetarian Breakfast Pitas
- Peel your hard-boiled eggs and cut them into thin slices. Add the sliced eggs and vegetables to a plate. Season well with salt and pepper to add extra flavor.
- Prepare your pita bread. Cut the pita in half, making sure each half is easy to open. You can warm the pita bread or use it at room temperature.
- Spread about 2 Tablespoons of hummus inside the pita and then spread about 1 Tablespoon of pesto sauce on the other side of the pita. Next, layer with feta cheese, hard-boiled egg slices, and veggies. Top with a sprinkle of fresh herbs, and enjoy!
Breakfast Pita Recipe Frequently Asked Questions
- Can these pitas be made vegan? You could replace the hard-boiled eggs with cooked tofu and the feta cheese with vegan feta, or omit them.
- Can gluten-free pita bread be used? Yes, you can definitely use gluten-free pita bread for this recipe. If you can’t open the pitas, you can just fold them over.
- Can these breakfast pitas be made ahead of time? I suggest prepping the hard-boiled eggs and slicing the vegetables ahead of time so you can quickly throw the pita together in the morning. If the entire pita is prepped days in advance, it may get a little soggy.
- Can other vegetables be used? Yes, you can use whatever veggies you like!
