Breakfast Pita with Bacon, Berry-Pepper Preserves and Jack Cheese


Description

An easy and filling breakfast recipe highlight Utah made ingredients.


Ingredients

  • 2 whole pita rounds, cut in half
  • 4 slices peppered bacon
  • 6 eggs
  • 2 oz grated Beehive Cheese Co. Uinta Jack cheese
  • pinch salt
  • 4 tablespoons Pepperlane Blackberry-Jalapeno Preserves
  • 1 large handful of fresh baby spinach

Instructions

  1. Crack eggs into a small bowl and whisk with a fork until well combined; set aside until ready to scramble.
  2. Cook bacon in a medium size sauté pan over medium heat until well done and crispy. Remove from pan and let bacon drain on a paper towel. When cool enough to handle, cut or crumble into small pieces.
  3. Wipe almost all excess grease from the pan, leaving just enough to cook the eggs, and return to stove top. Over medium heat, scramble the eggs 2-3 minutes until just set. Add the grated cheese and a pinch of salt. Cook the eggs a minute longer so the cheese melts and the eggs are cooked through. Remove from heat.
  4. Meanwhile, toast the pitas lightly in a commercial toaster just until warmed through. Spread 1 tablespoon of the preserves inside each pita. Divide the eggs into the 4 halved pitas along with a healthy handful of spinach. Sprinkle with reserved bacon pieces and serve warm.
