Description

The Egg & Avocado Breakfast Quesadilla is a delicious and nutritious start to your day, combining fluffy scrambled eggs with creamy avocado, fresh spinach, and melted sharp Cheddar cheese, all wrapped in a warm, whole wheat tortilla. This breakfast dish offers a perfect balance of flavors and textures—savory eggs, rich avocado, and a hint of spice from hot sauce, all complemented by the wholesome taste of whole wheat.


Ingredients

Scale

4 large eggs
4 egg whites
6 tablespoons water
½ teaspoon ground pepper
¼ teaspoon salt (or to taste)
4 whole wheat low-carb tortillas (medium size)
½ cup grated sharp Cheddar cheese
Hot sauce (to taste)
¾ California avocado, sliced
⅔ cup spinach leaves
Minced parsley (optional)


Instructions

Prepare the Eggs: In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the eggs, egg whites, and water until well combined.
Scramble the Eggs: Set a large skillet over medium heat and coat it with cooking spray. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Cook, occasionally scraping the pan, until the eggs are scrambled and just set. Season with salt and pepper.
Assemble the Quesadilla: Heat a medium-sized skillet over medium-high heat. Place 1 tortilla in the pan. On half of the tortilla, layer ¼ of the grated cheese, scrambled eggs, a few shakes of hot sauce, avocado slices, and spinach leaves.
Cook the Quesadilla: Fold the tortilla over to form a half-circle. Press down with a spatula as the cheese melts to help seal the quesadilla. Cook until the bottom is golden brown, then flip and brown the other side.
Serve: Remove the quesadilla from the skillet, cut it into thirds, and garnish with minced parsley if desired. Serve hot. Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas and filling ingredients.
