Breakfast<br />

Pita<br />

A pizza-style breakfast using<br />

pita bread topped with<br />

cheese, prosciutto, spinach,<br />

and a fried egg.<br />

ingredients<br />

6 6-inch pita breads<br />

Extra-virgin olive oil<br />

6 large eggs<br />

3/4 cup (6 oz) mascarpone cheese<br />

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper<br />

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper<br />

3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice<br />

3 packed cups (3 oz) arugula or baby spinach<br />

8 ounces thinly sliced prosciutto<br />

directions<br />

Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat<br />

or preheat a gas or charcoal grill. Brush<br />

each side of the pita breads with 1/2 teaspoon<br />

olive oil and grill 2 to 3 minutes on<br />

each side, until crisp. Remove from the<br />

grill and cool slightly. In a large skillet,<br />

heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over mediumhigh<br />

heat. Crack the eggs directly into the<br />

pan and cook until the egg whites are set,<br />

2 to 3 minutes. Combine the mascarpone<br />

cheese, lemon zest, 1/2 teaspoon<br />

salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a small<br />

bowl. In a medium bowl, whisk together<br />

3 tablespoons olive oil, the lemon juice, 1<br />

teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper<br />

until smooth. Add the arugula and toss<br />

until coated. Spread each pita with 2<br />

tablespoons of the mascarpone mixture.<br />

Divide the prosciutto on top. Divide the<br />

arugula and mound on top of the prosciutto.<br />

Carefully place a fried egg on top<br />

of each pita. Season the eggs with a pinch<br />

of salt and pepper and serve.<br />
