Ingredients
  

4 whole wheat pita breads

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese

4 large eggs

1/2 cup green chili peppers, diced (fresh or canned)

1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and pepper, to taste

Fresh cilantro or parsley, for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for baking your pizzas.

    Prepare the Pitas: Arrange the whole wheat pita breads on a large baking sheet. With a pastry brush, lightly coat each pita with olive oil. Evenly sprinkle them with garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper, distributing the seasonings for enhanced flavor.

      Add the Base Layer: Generously spread the shredded mozzarella cheese over the pitas, maintaining a small border around the edges to create a delicious crust.

        Layer the Vegetables: Evenly distribute the diced green chili peppers, halved cherry tomatoes, and finely chopped red onion across the cheese layer on each pita, ensuring an appealing mix of colors and flavors.

          Crack the Eggs: Gently press a spoon into the center of each pita pizza to create a small well, pushing the toppings aside. Carefully crack one egg into each well, taking care not to break the yolk.

            Bake: Place the baking sheet in your preheated oven and bake the pitas for 12-15 minutes. Look for the egg whites to be set while the yolks remain slightly runny for a perfect texture (add a few extra minutes if you prefer firmer yolks).

              Finish & Garnish: After baking, carefully remove the pitas from the oven and allow them to cool for a couple of minutes. Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese over the top, adding a creamy contrast. If desired, finish with fresh cilantro or parsley for a burst of color and freshness.

                Serve: Slice each pita pizza into quarters for easy sharing. Serve hot and enjoy a delightful breakfast treat!
