Ingredients

• 1 (6-inch) whole-grain pita bread
• 3 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
• 2 eggs
• 2 Canadian bacon slices

2. In the same skillet, heat 1 teaspoon of oil over medium heat. Crack the eggs into the
   skillet and cook until the eggs are set, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the skillet.
3. In the same skillet, cook the Canadian bacon for 3 to 5 minutes, flipping once.
4. In a large bowl, whisk together the remaining 1 teaspoon of oil and the lemon juice.

5. Top each pita half with half of the microgreens, 1 piece of bacon, 1 egg, and 1
   tablespoon of goat cheese. Season with pepper and serve.
