Cheddar Breakfast Wrap
- Olive oil spray
- 4 large egg whites
- 1 (about 8-inch-diameter) reduced-fat, whole-wheat flour tortilla
- 1 ounce (about 1/2 cup) finely shredded 75% light Cheddar cheese (I used Cabots)
- 2 tablespoons seeded and finely chopped tomato
- Place the tortilla on a microwave-safe plate between two damp paper towels.
- Lightly mist a medium microwave-safe bowl with spray.
- Add the egg whites.
- Microwave the egg whites for 30 seconds on low.
- Continue microwaving them in 30-second intervals until they are just a bit runny on top.
- Then stir them with a fork, breaking them apart into large pieces.
- By the time you scramble and stir them, the residual heat should have cooked away the runniness.
- If they are still undercooked, microwave them in 10-second intervals until just done.
- Set aside.
- Microwave the tortilla on high until warm, 10 to 20 seconds.
- Discard the paper towels and spoon the cooked eggs in a 3-inch-wide strip down the center of the tortilla, leaving 1 inch bare at each end of the strip.
- Top the eggs with the cheese, followed by the tomato.
- Fold the bare ends of the tortilla toward the center, and then roll the sides over the filling to form a burrito.
- Cut the wrap in half on an angle.
- Serve immediately.
- Follow the directions above, but instead of heating the tortilla in the microwave, wrap it completely in foil, and then heat it in a 400F oven for 4 to 5 minutes.
- And instead of microwaving the egg whites, simply scramble them in a nonstick skillet lightly misted with spray over medium heat.
