Fried Egg Pitas with Arugula

Scott Phillips

Yield:Yields 4 sandwiches

Servings:2-4

The secret to this spin on a fried egg sandwich is thetapenade, a tangy, salty olive and caper spread. Look for it near the jarred olives in the supermarket, or make your own.

Ingredients

  • 2 white or whole wheat pitas, halved crosswise
  • 2 Tbs. extra-virgin olive oil; more for drizzling
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup tapenade, store-bought orhomemade
  • 1 lightly packed cup baby arugula (about 3/4 oz.)
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Preparation

  • Position an oven rack 6 inches from the broiler element and heat the broiler on high. Broil the pitas on the rack until golden on one side, about 2 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. When hot, break the eggs into the skillet and cook to your preferred doneness, 3 to 4 minutes for sunny side up, or flip and cook about 1 minute longer for over easy.
  • While the eggs are cooking, open the pitas and spread the tapenade evenly inside each. Divide the arugula among the pitas.
  • When the eggs are done, sprinkle them with a pinch of salt and pepper. Use a spatula to transfer each egg to a pita. Drizzle a little olive oil into each pita and serve immediately.

Serve with a warming bowl ofTomato-Fennel Soup.

    Genius! I grew up eating fried egg sandwiches. In fact, my sister ate a fried egg sandwich every day for about year once (not sure why). This is so much better and healthier. The tapenade really gives it a lot of flavor.
