Makes 4 servings

Pizza for breakfast? Why not? It’s especially tasty when topped with a sunny-side-up egg & veggies. Quarter or halve the recipe for just one or two pizzas & try shredded part-skim mozzarella instead of feta, if you like.

ingredients

5 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
4 ounces packed spinach (4 cups)
2 (6-inch) whole-grain pitas, halved horizontally
2 large plum tomatoes, thinly sliced
4 large eggs
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 ounces reduced-fat feta cheese, crumbled (1/3 cup)

directions

1
Heat the oven to 450°F.
2
In a large nonstick skillet, heat 1 teaspoon of the oil over medium heat. Add spinach, in batches if necessary & cook until wilted, 2 to 3 minutes.
3
Brush inside of each pita round with 1 teaspoon oil. Place pita rounds, oiled side up, on a large baking sheet & bake until starting to brown, about 5 minutes. Remove from the oven.
4
Divide tomatoes & spinach evenly among pita halves, leaving an empty space in the center of each for an egg. Crack 1 egg into the center of each pita. Sprinkle with salt pepper, return to the oven & back until yolks are lightly set, 8 to 10 minutes. Sprinkle with cheese & continue baking until cheese has softened, about 2 minutes more. Serve warm.
