Fried Egg Pita
Alarm clocks are set, backpacks are full and it’s time to pull out the Back to School Breakfast Recipes for busy mornings. Since we’re all looking to make sure the kids are fed on their way to school, but also often looking for a new twist to get them to eat well-rounded. Well I have an easy recipe for you to try and make part of the breakfast menu list.
This recipe is a great way to grab some plain old eggs, whip them up and turn them into a Fried Egg Pita. When my daughter was young, I used to call these Flying Saucers. It’s an easy fix that’s tasty and fun!
So, pull out those drawers, open that refrigerator get out a spatula, some eggs and a few other key ingredients (see below). Don’t forget to invite the kids & their taste buds for this deliciously easy recipe for a weekend trial. If they like it, you’ll be ready to fly them out the door with a full belly for school. And let’s just say that these fun eats aren’t just for kids, they are great for parent’s bellies too!
Fried Egg Pita
Ingredients
- 1 honey wheat pita
- 1 egg
- 3 tablespoons shredded sharp cheese
- Black Pepper
- Sea Salt
- Onion powder
- Garlic powder
Instructions
Heat a griddle style pan over low heat.
Using a round cookie cutter cut out the center of the pita.
Butter both sides and place one side onto the pan and begin to toast it for a minute or two.
Add a little bit of butter to the center opening & crack an egg into the center. Break the yoke with a spatula if desired. Season the egg with a dash of salt, pepper, onion powder & garlic powder. Let the egg cook until it looks almost done.
Flip the flying saucer in one complete piece, Season the egg with a dash of the spices on the next side. Add the shredded cheese & cook the egg the rest of the way, melting the cheese.
Serve it with a side of fresh fruit.
Let it Cool: Once you make your flying saucer, let it cool slightly and then the entire flying saucer can be picked up & eaten if you don’t want to use a fork & knife making eating on the run just a little bit easier.
Cheese: You can swap the sharp cheese for your favorite cheeses.
Looking for a Side? Check out my Sun’s Up Smoothie. It’s delicious, it’s easy and it’s fruit packed. It’s great served as a stand alone smoothie, but also makes a delicious side with recipes like My Fried Egg Pita.

What a cute idea! My little guy would love this. Eggs and cheese are among his favorite foods and this would make it easy to eat with his hands.
AWESOME!
I use to do this with sandwich bread. The pita sounds much more filling. Thanks for sharing on Weekend Bites
The pita adds a whole different flavor & texture, plus it’s easier to pick up!
Ha ha I love this. We usually just use a slice of bread. I can imagine it is so much tastier with the cheese and spices 🙂
You’ll have to give it a try! WE love it this way…
