Pita Bread Greek Scrambled Egg Pockets Recipe
Greek Scrambled Egg Pockets Recipe for an easy outdoor breakfast or brunch. Made with feta cheese, bacon, and fresh herbs, and served in pita bread.
The warm weather is finally here, and I can’t help but think back to many summers our family spent on the Oregon coast. Pactific City, Oregon is one of our favorite beach towns, about 10 miles off Highway 101; a true gem.
Summer and weekends away are also the season for “easy” breakfasts, like this Greek Scrambled Egg Pockets Recipe, served in pita bread. I love this recipe for camping or a cozy beach house!
What is pita bread?
Pita bread is a Greek or Arabic hollow unleavened bread that can be split open to hold a filling.
Pacific City, Oregon
Have you visited Pacific City, Oregon? It’s so beautiful!
At the beach, we love to lounge, snooze, read, play in the water.
The wind can make it iffy, but most times when we visit Pacific City, we luck out!
Stuffed pita bread
When’s the last time you bought pita bread, by the way? It’s so yummy (you can heat it up or not), filled with your favorite breakfast eggs (or sandwiches, like Leftover Lemon Dill Salmon or Cranberry Almond Chicken Salad or this basic chicken salad).

Spring and summer is the best time to serve breakfast outside, when the temp is just right!
A simple recipe today, perfect to wrap in foil and eat down at the the beach, or by the campfire, we love this Greek Scrambled Egg Pockets Recipe!
These pita pockets only take about 15 minutes to pull together.
Full of summer flavors, with fresh basil from the garden.
And or some reason, food always tastes better in the great outdoors! ENJOY!

really good serving idea (pita) with my favorite kind of scramble, nice and thank you!
This may be a dumb question but why do you use oil in pan for frying bacon? Do you remove bacon grease before cooking eggs?
Thx sounds delish!
Never a dumb question! You add the oil to saute the garlic. I added in you can drain the bacon grease if you need to before adding the eggs. Happy Cooking! :)
Wheat pita bread are rich source of folate, magnesium, selenium and B vitamins. Another big health plus of eating pita is that your digestive system can work perfectly well. The rich amount of fibre in pita can have a great impact on the way your digestive works.
wow! these sound so yummy!
These are so fun Sandy! Love that serving dish and I loooove your backyard!!
I found you while reading Jan Udlock’s Blog and so glad I did! Your blog came into my awareness at a time when my family really needs to get out from under life, and let the joy of living come back to us again!
What a brilliant serving piece! This egg dish looks like the perfect recipe to shake up our breakfast routine a bit. I’ll be trying these this week. Thank you!
I havent’ seen a serving boat like this, but think I need to add it to my arsenal. Having the proper serving dishes makes all the difference to how the meal comes together. Simple things like gravy boats or a large platter make a simple meal feel special.
That is without a doubt the best serving dish for pita pockets that I’ve ever seen. I didn’t think I needed any more dishes but you’ve just proved me wrong.
Spring looks mighty nice at your house.
