  • 40gFresh tomato, thinly sliced
  • a small handfulFresh arugula
  • 1-second sprayZero-calorie cooking spray

👨‍🍳Method

1

Whip the Lean Pesto

1 min

In a small cup, vigorously stir together your non-fat Greek yogurt and 1 tsp of real pesto until combined. Set aside.

2

The Viral Egg Wrap Hack

1 min

Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat and spray it well with zero-calorie cooking oil. Whisk your 1 whole egg and liquid egg whites together. Pour the egg mixture into the pan, swirling it so it covers the entire bottom in a thin, even circle.

3

Fuse the Tortilla

3 min

Immediately press your low-carb tortilla directly on top of the wet, uncooked egg. Let it cook undisturbed for 2-3 minutes. The egg will cook and literally glue itself to the tortilla!

💡Do not move the tortilla once placed — the egg needs to set undisturbed to create a perfect bond.
4

Flip and Fill

2 min

Once the egg is cooked through, carefully slide a large spatula under the egg and flip the whole thing over (tortilla now on the bottom, crisping up, golden egg layer facing up). Spread your lean yogurt-pesto hack over one half of the egg layer. Arrange your light feta, thinly sliced tomatoes, and fresh arugula on top.

5

Fold and Crisp

3 min

Fold the empty half of the tortilla over the filling to create a half-moon quesadilla. Press down gently with a spatula. Let it cook for another 1-2 minutes per side until the tortilla is golden and crispy.

6

Serve

1 min

Remove from the pan, slice into four perfect triangles with the beautiful golden egg layer visible. Arrange on a plate and garnish with halved cherry tomatoes and fresh basil. Enjoy your fat-burning breakfast!
