👨‍🍳Method

1

Prep the Veggies

3 min

Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Give it a quick spray of zero-calorie cooking oil. Sauté your sliced mushrooms with a pinch of salt and pepper until golden brown. Remove and set aside.

2

The Viral Egg Wrap Hack

1 min

Wipe the skillet clean, lower the heat to medium, and spray it well with 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 circle.

3

Fuse the Tortilla

3 min

Immediately press your low-carb tortilla directly on top of the wet, uncooked egg. Let it cook 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, egg layer facing up). On one half of the egg layer, arrange your light cheese, sautéed mushrooms, prosciutto, and fresh baby spinach.

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 and the cheese is fully melted.

6

Serve

1 min

Remove from the pan, slice into perfect triangles with the beautiful yellow egg layer visible. Arrange on a plate with cherry tomatoes, basil, and a side bowl of 0% Greek yogurt for dipping. Enjoy your massive, fat-burning meal!
