Ingredients
- 1 7-inch pita bread
- 2 tsp. butter or soy margarine
- 2 oz. soy 'sausage'
- 2 scallions, thinly sliced
- 2 oz. white mushrooms, thinly sliced
- 2 large eggs
- 2 Tbs. heavy cream, optional
- 1 oz. shredded soy cheese
- 1 Tbs. ranch salad dressing
Preparation
Warm pita in oven, and set aside.
Meanwhile, melt butter in large skillet over medium heat. When warm, add soy “sausage,” and crumble. Add scallions and mushrooms, and sauté for 5 minutes.
Combine eggs, heavy cream, if using, shredded cheese, and salt and pepper, stirring well. Reduce heat to medium-low, and stir in egg mixture. Continue stirring slowly until eggs set, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
Slit warmed pita in half for 2 equal-sized pieces. Spoon in equal portions of egg mixture, and top with ranch salad dressing, avocado, if using, and watercress.
