Avocado and Fried Egg Breakfast Pita

Course: Breakfast
Cuisine: Greek
Servings: 1
Author: Gaby

Ingredients

  • 1 piece whole wheat pita bread
  • 1 Hass avocado
  • 1 tsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 1 organic egg
  • kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Toast the pita bread in a toaster oven for 3-4 minutes until just crisp. Remove from the toaster oven and set aside.
  • Cut the avocados in half lengthwise. Remove the pit from the avocado and discard. Remove the avocado from the skin, and transfer the avocado flesh to medium bowl. Using a fork, mash the avocado until it’s half chunky and half smooth. Add the lemon juice and mix to combine and set aside.
  • Place the butter in a cast iron skillet over medium high heat and cook until the butter is melted.
  • Crack the egg into a small bowl, making sure to be gentle and leave the yolk in one piece.
  • Slide the cracked egg into the hot skillet and reduce the heat to low. Cook the egg until the egg whites are fully cooked and the yolk is slightly cooked, but still running. You just want the yolk to thicken a touch. Turn the heat off and sprinkle the egg with salt and pepper.
  • Place the pita onto a plate. Slather the avocado mixture on top of the pita and then carefully transfer the egg on top of the avocado.
  • Serve immediately
