I adore Waffle House's Sausage, Egg, & Cheese Wrap so I'm hoping that this tastes similarly. This sausage, egg and cheese quesadilla is adapted from a Southern Living recipe. Choosing Southwestern-style Egg Beaters in place of eggs saves at least 40 calories and 4 fat grams per serving. Read more . This recipe also uses a Mexican cheese blend made with 2 percent milk, light sausage, and a low-carb, low-fat tortilla. Ingredients:
8 ounces light sausage |
cooking spray |
1 to 2 teaspoons hot sauce |
2 cups southwestern-style egg substitute |
1 cup mexican cheese blend made with 2 percent milk, finely shredded |
8 low-carb, low-fat tortillas, such as la tortilla factory's |
1 cup chopped tomato, seeded and cored |
optional garnishes: light sour cream and salsa |
Directions:
1. Cook sausage in a large skillet coated with cooking spray over medium-high heat for 10 minutes or until sausage crumbles and is no longer pink.
2. Place sausage crumbles on a paper towel-lined plate and pat dry with additional paper towels. Return sausage to skillet, stir in hot sauce and set aside.
3. Cook egg substitute in a large skillet coated with cooking spray over medium-high heat without stirring for 1-2 minutes or until mixture begins to set on the bottom.
4. Draw a spatula across the bottom of the skillet to form large curds. Cook 3-4 minutes or until egg mixture is thickened and moist. Remove skillet from heat.
5. Sprinkle one tablespoon of shredded cheese over half of each tortilla, then spoon sausage, egg and tomato over the cheese. Sprinkle another tablespoon of cheese over the sausage, egg and tomato mixture. Fold each tortilla in half, pressing to seal. Lightly coat both sides of tortillas with cooking spray.
6. Cook on a nonstick griddle over medium-high heat for 3 minutes on each side or until lightly browned and the cheese is melted. Top with salsa and sour cream. Serve immediately.
