| Ingredients |
|---|
| 1 wholewheat pitta bread |
| 1 egg |
| 1 tbsp Parmesan or Cheddar, grated |
| Salt and black pepper |
| Knob of butter |
| Optional: |
| Baby spinach |

directions
- Sprinkle the pitta bread lightly with water and place in the toaster.
- Crack the egg into a jug or bowl. Add the milk, cheese and some salt and pepper. Beat with a fork until frothy.
- Melt the butter in a frying pan over a medium-high heat. Pour in the egg mixture and cook for 1-2 minutes, tilting the pan so the egg cooks in a thin, even layer. Remove to a plate.
- When the pitta is toasted, remove it from the toaster and split open with a sharp knife, being careful as there is hot steam inside.
- Fold the omelette in half and then in half again. Stuff the omelette inside the pitta, adding some baby spinach leaves, chopped tomatoes or a slice of ham or turkey if desired.
