Ingredients

  • 6 eggs, cooked, peeled
  • 1/3 cup Alfredo sauce (from a jar or container)
  • 1/4 cup real bacon pieces
  • 1/8 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
  • Dash of pepper
  • 2 pita (pocket) breads (each 6 inches in diameter)

Directions

  •  
    1
    Use the table knife to chop the eggs into bite-size pieces on the cutting board. Put the chopped eggs in the bowl.
  •  
    2
    Measure out the Alfredo sauce and the bacon pieces. Put them in the bowl. Measure out the onion powder. Add it in the bowl, too.
  •  
    3
    Rinse about 2 handfuls of parsley with cold water. Pat it dry with a paper towel. Use the kitchen scissors to snip the leafy part of the parsley into little pieces. Measure out 1 tablespoon. Toss the parsley into the bowl. Sprinkle a little pepper into the bowl, too. Mix it all up with the wooden spoon.
  •  
    4
    Use the sharp knife to cut each pita bread in half on the cutting board. You should now have 4 halves. Open the halves to make pockets. Spoon the egg mixture into each of the pockets.
  •  
    5
    Wrap each pocket sandwich loosely in plastic wrap or waxed paper. Microwave each sandwich on High 20 to 30 seconds, until warm. Be careful when you take the plastic wrap off the sandwiches because hot steam may come out.
