Pita! Pita! mmmm! Pita!

I use to buy pitas and they sat on my counter, then I threw them in the freezer before they expired and then 6 months later I found them freezer-burnt while cleaning out my freezer. I just never knew the possibilities until I stumbled upon a  recipe on myfitnesspal.com msg boards, that's when the juices started flowing.

This following recipe for Bacon Breakfast Pizza is totally awesome! It only has 250 Calories in it, compare that to your favorite gas station breakfast pizza, around 540 calories for a bacon breakfast slice from Casey's!
 This is light and you won't feel guilty about eating every little bite!



Bacon Breakfast Pita Pizza

1 Pita Bread, cut around edge to make 2 "crusts" you will only need 1 of these -  90 calories
1/4 C. Egg Beaters - 30 calories 
1/4 C. Shredded Mozzarella - 80 calories 
2 T Oscar Mayer Real Bacon Bits - 50 calories 

Pour egg beaters in a sprayed small microwavable bowl and heat for about 40 seconds. Break up with a fork and top  pita crust with eggs. Top eggs with mozzarella then bacon bits on top (i find they get a little crisp when they're on top of the cheese). Put under broiler until cheese is melted and its brown and crispy.
250 Calories for entire pizza!!






Ham Egg and Cheese Pita Pocket

1/2 Pita - 90 Calories
1/4 C. Egg Beaters - 30 Calories

1 Slice American Cheese - 50 Calories

Pour egg beaters in a sprayed small microwavable bowl and heat for about 35 seconds. Add ham and cheese on top and microwave another 15-20 seconds until hot and melted. Stuff it all in the pita and you got a very filling breakfast.
