Ingredients
- 1 (6-inch) whole-grain pita bread
- 3 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
- 2 eggs
- 2 Canadian bacon slices
- Juice of 1/2 lemon
- 1 cup microgreens

to 3 minutes on each side, then remove from the skillet.

skillet and cook until the eggs are set, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the skillet.
- In the same skillet, cook the Canadian bacon for 3 to 5 minutes, flipping once.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the remaining 1 teaspoon of oil and the lemon juice.
Add the microgreens and toss to combine.

tablespoon of goat cheese. Season with pepper and serve.
