HARD BOILED EGG AND PEPPERS PITAS



Hard Boiled Egg and Peppers Pitas image

Super simple. Attractive and tasty way to get rid of leftover Easter eggs. Using eggs that have been boiled and sitting in the fridge for a day or two makes slicing easier. Boiling your eggs with a little salt makes for easier peeling. Try adding different things to the recipe, very versatile. I like adding Greek olives, or occasionally baby spinach leaves tossed with balsamic vinaigrette. It also works well with grated parmesan cheese, or other hard white cheeses.

Tips:

Fill the pitas with the eggs, sausage, and cheese, and serve.
  • Feel free to get creative with the fillings. You could also add diced tomatoes, onions, peppers, or avocado to the pitas.
  • If you don't have any pita bread on hand, you can use tortillas or English muffins instead.
