Ingredients
- 1 large whole wheat pita bread or 2 medium pitas (or your favorite flatbread)
- extra-virgin olive oil

- 1 teaspoon za’atar, more to your liking
- Pinch red pepper flakes (optional)

- Oil the pita: Place the pita (or flatbread) on a sheet pan and brush the top with olive oil.

Notes
- Because the eggs are grated, they should be fully cooked through but not dry. See our favorite method in our guide on
- How To Boil Eggs
- . If you don't have a cheese grater to grate the eggs just roughly chop them with a knife.
- Use a low moisture whole milk mozzarella for the best flavor. A milky, creamy mozzarella is great in something like
- caprese salad
- , but tends to get soggy as it melts.
- Za’atar is an aromatic spice blend made from herbs, sesame seeds, and
- sumac
