Egg Sandwiches with Red Peppers and Tahini

INGREDIENTS:

• 3 large eggs + 4 egg whites

• ¼ tsp each sea salt and ground black pepper

• 2 tbsp plain whole-milk kefir

• ½ tbsp fresh lemon juice

• ½ tbsp tahini paste

• ½ tbsp chopped fresh chives + additional for garnish

• 1 tsp olive oil

• ¼ cup chopped yellow onion

• ½ cup each chopped red and green bell pepper

• 1 6-inch whole-grain pocket-style pita, halved

PREPARATION:

1. In a small bowl, whisk together eggs, egg whites, salt and pepper. In a separate bowl, combine kefir, lemon juice, tahini and chives. Set bowls side.

2. In a large skillet on medium-high, heat oil. Add onion and cook, stirring often, until soft, 2 to 3 minutes. Add red and green peppers and continue cooking, stirring often, until peppers soften, 4 minutes more.

3. Reduce heat to medium-low and add egg mixture. Cook, stirring often, until eggs are set, 4 to 5 minutes. (TIP: Remove from heat when eggs are slightly wet, as residual heat from the pan will continue to cook eggs.)

4. Divide egg mixture among pita halves; drizzle with tahini mixture. Garnish with additional chives.
