Ham and Egg Pita



Need something to do with the leftover holiday ham? I did, and that's when I threw together this meal. I ended up eating this for dinner, but it can also be a great breakfast or lunch. Luckily Christmas dinner was at my aunt's house and not at my house. We hosted Thanksgiving dinner and had a truly unbelievable amount of leftovers. This time we just took what we wanted back home with us, and the ham was the only thing that made it back.

I use Joseph's Flax, Oat Bran and Whole Wheat Pitas. They are low in carbs, low in Points+, high in fiber and they taste delicious. I have even been known to eat them alone, sans any filling (shhh...I love carbs).

Also, I made this for myself, but it can be easily doubled or tripled.
