Ever open your fridge in the morning, totally lost about what to eat? Same. Enter my go-to solution lately: the pita bread breakfast wrap with hummus and egg recipe. It’s crunchy, creamy, crazy fast, and somehow always feels like you pulled it out of a fancy bistro (seriously, my friends think I’m magic). Especially when you want breakfast but you’re tired of boring cereal or those rubbery diner eggs. By the way, this isn’t just food. It’s a little happiness hug, honestly.
Sabich Sandwiches Recipe
Let’s just say, the Sabich is not your regular breakfast sandwich. It’s a fabulous Israeli bite with layers of flavor and texture. You get silky eggplant, soft-boiled eggs, bright crunchy veggies, creamy hummus, plus a drizzle of tahini. All packed into soft, pillowy pita bread. I usually roast the eggplant with a sprinkle of salt and a good glug of olive oil (the aroma — amazing). Eggs? I like jammy yolks. Just cover eggs with water, bring to a boil, then let sit for about 7 minutes before peeling. I mean, it’s simple, right?
Then just slice up some cucumbers and tomatoes. Seriously, throw in any veggies you love. I slather the inside of my pita with a thick layer of hummus, layer on the veggies, eggplant, and eggs, squeeze over a little lemon, and spoon on tahini. Sometimes, I add fresh parsley if I remember it’s there (but honestly, don’t sweat it!). A dash of hot sauce takes it over the top. It’s like a party in your mouth.
This sandwich makes even my worst Mondays feel special. My kids ask for it every weekend, no joke. – Alina, neighbor and fellow lover of breakfast wraps
Special Equipment
Here’s the deal: you don’t need anything fancy. Just a good skillet or roasting pan for that eggplant. A sharp knife helps, and maybe a saucepan for your eggs. I like to use mixing bowls for prepping veggies (have you ever chased a tomato across the counter? Not fun). Pita pockets work best if you can grab them from a local Middle Eastern bakery, but whatever is soft enough to bend will do. No pita? Wrap in a tortilla. Still awesome.
Recipe Tips
A couple of things you might not know:
- Let the eggplant get really golden. That’s your flavor jackpot.
- Use a thick, fresh hummus if you can. Store-bought works, homemade? Even better, but I don’t expect miracles.
- If your pita cracks, wrap it in foil for less mess.
Don’t get hung up on layering order. It’s going to taste great either way, trust me.
More Delicious Vegetarian Sandwiches
Once you taste the Sabich sandwich, you might want to try more vegetarian wraps. Chickpea salad sandwiches are pretty high on my list. Smashed avocado and roasted red pepper also work super well in pita bread for another quick meal. Even grilled veggies leftover from last night can be amazing with a little hummus and a splash of lemon juice. If you’re into trying things from around the world, definitely poke around for Falafel wraps too. Sometimes I’ll even just do scrambled eggs, spinach, and some kind of sauce for a quick breakfast wrap fix. No rules. No sandwich police.
Notes
Here’s something I found out the hard way: pita dries out fast. Keep it wrapped up or toss it in the microwave under a damp napkin. Leftover eggplant is awesome cold. Oh, and don’t worry if you don’t have exactly the same veggies. You can even pop in greens or pickled onions for a tangy twist. Also — tahini can be a bit bitter if your jar’s old, so fresh really is best.
Common Questions
Do I have to use eggplant in my pita breakfast wrap?
Nope! If you don’t have eggplant, try zucchini or even roasted peppers. Different vibe, still tasty.
How long does this sandwich keep?
It’s best fresh. You can prep the components ahead, but assemble right before eating so the bread doesn’t get mushy.
What if I can’t find tahini?
Just skip it, or use a bit more hummus. Even a little plain yogurt works in a pinch.
Can I make this wrap vegan?
Totally. Just skip the eggs, add more veggies or use tofu. The wrap’s all about flexibility.
Any way to make this gluten-free?
Sure thing! Use your favorite gluten-free wraps or even big lettuce leaves.
