Spinach, Egg and Cheese Breakfast Wrap

Tuesdays and Thursdays are the only days I can actually make breakfast for myself. The rest of the time, it's cereal or protein shakes. So this morning I tried another recipe provided by Oprah and The Biggest Loser.

Spinach, Egg and Cheese Breakfast Wrap

Serves 1

• 1 (7 1/2-inch) low-carb, whole wheat or multigrain tortilla
• Olive oil spray
• 3 egg whites
• 1 oz (1/2 cup) Cabot's 75% Light Cheddar Cheese , finely shredded
• 1/4 cup fresh spinach leaves , stems removed

Place a small nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and add the tortilla (no need to add any fat). Heat the tortilla until just warm, about 30 seconds per side after the pan is heated.

Spray a small microwave-safe bowl with the olive oil spray and add the egg whites. Microwave on low for 30 seconds. Continue microwaving in 30-second intervals until the whites are just a bit runny on top. Stir with a fork, breaking the whites 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, cook in 10-second intervals until just done.

Place the warmed tortilla on a plate. Starting at the top, sprinkle the cheese in a 3-inch strip down the center to about 2 inches from the bottom. Top with half of the egg whites, the spinach leaves, then the remaining whites. Fold up the bottom so that the bare part is over the filling. Fold the sides into the center over the egg and serve.

I warmed the tortilla like it says but I cooked the eggs (yes, I used regular eggs... yolk and all) in the frying pan instead of the microwave. Since I used the whole egg, I used 2 eggs instead of 3. I also used regular cheddar cheese but cut back the amount. Next time I'm gonna add some salsa. Yum!

Enjoy!
