- Mom always said that breakfast
was the most important meal of the day.
But of course, when we get busy
it's the first thing we skip.
Today I want to show you
one of my favorite breakfast solutions
for people on the go.
They're my nutritious and delicious
breakfast pitas, and the best part is,
I'm going to show them to you
three delicious ways.
I'm going to show you my amazing
caprese-inspired breakfast pita.
I've got a gorgeous cheesy jalapeno breakfast pita.
And finally, a salty, sweet, spicy
Hawaiian-inspired breakfast pita.
Hold onto your hats,
because things are about to get delicious.
Just before we get to our pita recipes,
I wanted to tell you about this great new project
I've been working on with the awesome people
at Kin Community.
The series is called Mobile Meal Makeover.
Basically, I went down to Los Angeles
and got to travel all around Hollywood
and Santa Monica making people healthy dishes
in my very own food truck.
How cool is that?
The series launches today on Kin Community,
so be sure after you're done watching this video
to head over there and take a look.
It was so much fun to make,
and I really hope you guys enjoy it.
All right, now let's talk breakfast pitas.
Our first pita is inspired by
a beautiful caprese salad.
If you're not familiar with this kind of salad,
it is a mixture of fresh tomatoes,
bufala mozarella, and fresh basil.
What could be tastier than that?
But the coolest part is, we're going to
mix this all up with some scrambled eggs,
and then put it into a breakfast pita.
It's going to be delicious.
In my frying pan I've got some oil heating up,
and to that I am going to add some cherry tomatoes
and a little bit of garlic.
We're going to saute this until the tomatoes
start to break down.
While that's cooking away,
I'm going to mix up some eggs,
a little bit of milk, and some salt and pepper.
I'm going to whisk that together really, really well,
and then add it to my frying pan.
They will start cooking really quickly.
Now in my house,
the secret to perfect scrambled eggs
is to never let them stop moving.
(upbeat music)
I'm going to cook up this beautiful mixture
until my eggs start to set,
and then I'm going to add some Bocconchini.
Now Bocconchini is the amazing fresh cheese
you can buy at your deli.
It's super soft and delicious,
and melts beautifully.
We're going to finish this off
with some shredded basil leaves.
You don't want to put your basil leaves in too early,
because you don't want them to lose
their beautiful fresh flavor.
We're going to stack all of this deliciousness
into our pita, and boom!
Breakfast is served.
Next up is our cheesy jalapeno breakfast pita.
Now, this one is amazing, because it actually
ends up tasting like a jalapeno pepper.
I've got a little bit of oil heating up in my frying pan,
and I'm just going to toss in half a jalapeno
that I've diced up.
We're going to toast up our jalapeno
until it gets nice and fragrant,
and then we are going to add
a tablespoon or two of cream cheese.
While that cream cheese is starting to melt,
we are going to mix up our egg mixture.
Once our egg mixture starts to set,
we can add our cheddar cheese.
Now I'm going to be pretty generous here,
because you know how I feel about cheese,
but you could dial it back
if you want to keep this on the lighter side.
Another option, if you want to
amp up the protein even more, is to add
some cooked chicken or some cooked ham to this.
That could really do it.
Or you can eat it all on its own.
Totally up to you.
We're going to stuff all of this awesomeness
into our pita pocket and it is ready to eat.
Yum?
(upbeat music)
Finally, I'm going to show you
my Hawaiian-inspired breakfast pita.
Now this has all of the awesomeness of a Hawaiian pizza,
but in a breakfast pita.
How yummy does that sound?
I've got some oil heating up in my pan,
and to that I'm going to add some chopped ham,
and some finely diced pineapple.
I know this sounds a little crazy,
but stick with me.
We're going to fry this for 5 to 7 minutes,
until the pineapple starts to carmelize,
and then we're going to add our egg mixture.
Once again, I've just whisked together some eggs,
a little bit of milk, and some salt and pepper.
(upbeat music)
Once my eggs start to set, I'm going to add
a handful of spinach,
(upbeat music)
a little bit of mozzarella cheese,
and if you feel so inclined,
you can also add some hot sauce.
Now you've got salty, sweet, and spicy,
basically my all-time favorite combination.
(upbeat music)
I hope you'll give these three breakfast ideas a try,
and if you do, be sure to tweet
or instagram me a photo, because you know
I love seeing what you're coming up with
in your very own kitchens.
