Gyro for Breakfast! 3 Delicious Recipes
Homemade gyro slices are not just good for pita sandwiches. I love using leftover gyro in breakfast dishes. Serve them alongside simple fried eggs, in a breakfast hash, or in a scrambled egg & cheese croissant. All 3 recipes are delicious, and so easy to make.

Gyro Breakfast Hash:
3 Russet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
1/4 cup olive oil
1 onion, finely chopped
1 bell pepper, diced
5-6 (or more) gyro slices, roughly chopped
salt and pepper, to taste
pinch of crushed red pepper flakes
3-4 oz feta cheese, crumbled
3 scallions, thinly sliced
Spinach, Egg, and Gyro Croissant:
1 croissant, toasted
1 tablespoon of salted butter or olive oil
2 gyro slices
2 eggs
a handful of baby spinach leaves, roughly chopped
2 tablespoons crumbled feta cheese
2 tablespoons shredded mozzarella cheese
salt and pepper, to taste
Fried Eggs & Gyro:
1-2 tablespoons salted butter
2-3 gyro slices
2 eggs
salt
pepper or crushed red pepper flakes
INSTRUCTIONS
Gyro Breakfast Hash:
Place the potatoes in a small pot and cover with cold water. Season with a half teaspoon of salt and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium and cook for 5 minutes. The potatoes will not be fully cooked.
Drain the potatoes and set aside.
Cook the onion with the olive oil over medium-heat in a large skillet until soft. 6 minutes.
Add the bell peppers, potatoes, and season with salt, pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes. Cook, undisturbed, for 4 minutes per side over medium heat so that their color develops.
After 12 minutes, add the gyro and feta cheese. Mix it all together and cook for an additional 4 minutes.
Remove from heat and garnish with scallions. Serve topped with poached or fried eggs and some tzatziki sauce. Enjoy!
Spinach, Egg & Gyro Croissant:
Combine the eggs, feta, salt, and pepper in a bowl and whisk together.
Add a tablespoon of butter to a frying pan and melt it over medium heat.
Add the gyro slices to the pan and cook on both sides until golden. Remove them from the pan and set aside.
Cook the spinach in the pan until it wilts. 1 minute.
Add the egg mixture to the pan and stir it to create scrambled eggs. Cook until the eggs have almost set. Add the mozzarella cheese and remove from the heat as it will continue to cook from the heat of the pan and the cheese will melt.
Slice the toasted croissant in half and place the gyro slices on the bottom half. Top with the scrambled egg mixture and then with the top of the croissant.
Serve with tzatziki and enjoy!
Fried Eggs & Gyro:
Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a frying pan and add the gyro slices. Cook over medium heat until golden on both sides.
Add 1 more tablespoon of butter (optional) along with the eggs and fry them.
Transfer the eggs to the plate with the gyro slices and season with salt and pepper. Serve alongside croissants or bread with tzatziki sauce. Enjoy!

Wagyu Beef Gyro
Gyros are Greek sandwiches (if you can even call them that) typically made from lamb, beef, or even chicken. Biting into a gyro is an experience like no other. The variety of textures, temperatures, and flavors is unmatched. But why hasn't anybody ever made a gyro using wagyu beef? My good friend @thegoldenbalance and I carefully considered this question and wholeheartedly agreed: we had to give it a try.
Now, you know me pretty well at this point. And this means you probably have a good understanding of my love for rotisserie chickens. The great part about gyros is that the meat is cooked on a vertical rotisserie, so this provided the perfect opportunity for me to get one of those machines. And that's exactly what we did.
Gyro:
Wagyu beef strips
Paprika
Oregano
Chili powder
Thyme
Cumin
Celery salt
Minced onion
Olive oil
Salt
Pepper
Bread:
2 2/3 cups bread flour
1 tsp salt
10 oz lukewarm water
1.5 packets active dry yeast
2 tbsp olive oil
Tzatziki:
1 medium cucumber (peeled)
2 cups Greek yogurt
1/8 tsp cayenne pepper
1 clove minced garlic
2 tbsp lemon juice
2 tbsp fresh dill
Salt and pepper
Lemon zest
Toppings:
Fries
White onion
Tomato (salted)
Dill

Makes 6-8 servings:
1 medium onion, quartered
1 pound ground lamb
1 pound ground beef
4-5 garlic cloves
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon cumin powder
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
Equipment: 9 x 5 inch loaf pan
For the Sandwiches:
Pita bread
Onion slices
Tomato slices
Tzaztiki Sauce
Lettuce
Crumbled feta cheese
Preheat oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit, 163 degrees Celsius.
Place the garlic cloves in a food processor and pulse until very finely chopped.
Add onion and puree until smooth.
Add ground beef with all of the spices. Pulse until the mixture becomes like a paste. Scrape down the sides of the bowl in between pulses.
Place the mixture in a loaf pan. Compact it as much as possible.
Bake for 45 minutes till 1 hour.
Allow the pan to cool at room temperature completely. Refrigerate at least 2 hours before removing from the pan.
Remove from pan onto a cutting board. Using a sharp serrated knife, slice it thinly. Pour all of the pan juices over the slices along with any of the fat that has gelatinized. It adds so much flavor when heating it up for the sandwiches.
At this point the gyro slices can be placed in a freezer safe bag and frozen for future use.
To make the Gyro sandwiches, place a cast iron pan over medium heat and cook the gyro slices until they are browned on both sides.
Warm the pita bread slightly. Place some chopped lettuce, onion and tomato slices over the pita, the warm gyro slices and tzatziki sauce with crumbled feta. Serve immediately. Enjoy!
