Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over each pita bread.
Evenly distribute the roughly chopped spinach over the mozzarella-layered pitas.

Egg and spinach pita pizza with mozzarella FAQ:
Bake the pita pizzas in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for approximately 12-15 minutes. The egg whites should be fully cooked while the yolks can be slightly runny, based on your preference.
The eggs are done when the whites are fully set and the yolks are at your desired doneness. For slightly runny yolks, check around the 12-minute mark; for firmer yolks, allow closer to 15 minutes.
You can substitute spinach with other leafy greens like kale, arugula, or Swiss chard. Adjust the amount to your taste, as some greens may have sharper flavors.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven at a low temperature or in a microwave until hot.
Yes, you can use other cheeses such as cheddar, feta, or gouda. Keep in mind that different cheeses may alter the flavor and melting properties of the pita pizza.
Tips:
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for even cooking and easy cleanup.
- Lightly toast the pita breads in the oven for a few minutes before adding the toppings to prevent them from getting soggy.
- If you prefer runny yolks, crack the eggs over the pizza closer to the end of the baking time to avoid overcooking them.
- For a stronger flavor, you can use smoked mozzarella or add a bit of garlic powder to the cheese mixture.
- To evenly distribute the spinach, consider finely chopping it before placing it on the pita.
- Let the pizza cool for a few minutes before slicing to allow the cheese to set and make cutting easier.
