  2. Heat 1 teaspoon oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Break 2 eggs, one at a time, into the skillet. Cover and cook until the whites are set, about 2 minutes. Uncover and cook until the whites are completely set and the edges are crisp, about 2 minutes 30 seconds. Sprinkle the eggs with the remaining ¼ teaspoon za’atar; place each inside a pita half. Divide the cucumber-tomato mixture between the pitas.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
