ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons cottage cheese
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1⁄2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 small onion, diced
- 1 medium red pepper, cubed
- 1 red potatoes, baked, cut into cubes
- 1 1⁄2 tablespoons ketchup
- 1 1⁄2 tablespoons margarine
- 1 teaspoon hot sauce
- 1 1⁄2 teaspoons salt
- 1 1⁄2 teaspoons pepper
- 2 whole wheat pita bread

directions
- Heat 1 tbsp margarine in non-stick pan over medium heat and add onions. Cook until shiny and slightly soft.
- Add cubes of potato and stir gently to combine. Sprinkle with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp pepper. Continue cooking until potatoes appear golden.
- Now add the peppers and cook for 2-3 more minutes until heated through. Add hot sauce and ketchup, mix and let cook on low heat.
- Cook bacon as to your liking (I put frozen turkey bacon in the microwave for 2 minutes and then finish it off in a frying pan to crisp it up). Let bacon drain on paper towel.
- In bowl whisk eggs, milk and salt and pepper. Add cottage cheese at end and mix together. In frying pan heat remaining margarine and add egg mixture. Let cook for a few minutes, until it starts to stick together. Mix it around and add veggie mixture. Continue to cook for 2-3 minutes, checking for salt and pepper. At very end, add half the cheese and gently combine.
- Open one pita and put half the egg mixture inside, topping with some extra shredded cheese and two slices of bacon.
- Repeat above step with remaining egg mixture, bacon and cheese.

Desiree, This is a terrific recipe! I made two in pitas and two in tortillas and they were both delicious! The tortillas held up a little better for me than the pitas, but either way was great. I used Emeril's Hot Jalapeno Sauce, and it worked really well. The only other things I did differently was to cut down on the salt, and I diced my bacon before frying to make it easier to eat. Thanks for a delicious recipe, it would work well for a meal at anytime of day!

Cooking, food, food preparation, different ingredients and tastes are all things that I am fascinated by. I absolutely love cooking and find making a big meal incredibly relaxing. I love to prepare food for others and entertain. I am fortunate to have many friends who are willing to try all my culinary experiments.
As an only child I have been blessed with the opportunity to experience many adult flavors and tastes at a young age. This has instilled in me my love for gourmet foods, which I consider one of life’s greatest luxuries. My favorite food as a child was escargot (and still reigns number one on my favorite food list today) which leads me to my conclusion that anyone can really like anything, you just have to try it. Because of this I try everything once. The world of flavor is so vast that I don’t want to miss out on anything that I may truly like, but was too "chicken" to try. (and yes, I have tried chicken feet)
Although I do love fine foods I am not a “food snob” a nice squished grilled cheese made with Wonder Bread and Cheeze Whiz is on my top ten favorite foods list too.
As far as food types are concerned I really do like just about everything, especially ethnic food. I am enjoying alot of Thai and Arabic food right now and also favour Greek and South American cuisine also. Yumm! I just love food!!
