Cheesy Breakfast Quesadilla with Fresh Salsa
- Olive oil spray
- 4 large egg whites
- 1 (about 8-inch-diameter) reduced-fat, whole-wheat flour tortilla
- 1 ounce (1/3 cup) finely shredded light Swiss cheese
- 1/4 cup drained fresh salsa (refrigerated, not jarred, if possible)
- Lightly mist a small microwave-safe bowl with spray.
- Add the egg whites and microwave for 30 seconds on low.
- Continue microwaving them in 30-second intervals until they are just barely runny on top.
- Then using a fork, stir them to break into large scrambled pieces.
- By the time you scramble and stir them, the residual heat should have cooked away the runniness.
- If they are still undercooked, cook them in 10-second intervals until just done.
- Place a nonstick frying pan large enough for the tortilla to lie flat over medium-high heat.
- Add the tortilla (no need to add any fat).
- Sprinkle half the cheese over half of the tortilla.
- Spoon the egg evenly over that, followed by the remaining cheese.
- Fold the bare half over the filled half.
- Cook until the cheese begins to melt and the tortilla is lightly browned in spots, about 2 minutes.
- Carefully flip it and cook until the cheese is completely melted, 1 to 2 minutes.
- Transfer the quesadilla to a serving plate and top with salsa.
- Cut into 4 wedges and serve immediately.
- Follow the directions above, but instead of microwaving the egg whites, simply scramble them in a nonstick skillet lightly misted with spray over medium heat.
