1
Lightly mist a small, microwave-safe bowl with spray.
-
2
Add the egg whites and microwave for 30 seconds on low.
-
3
Continue microwaving them in 30-second intervals until they are just a bit runny on top.
-
4
Then using a fork, stir them to break into large scrambled pieces.
-
5
By the time you scramble and stir them, the residual heat should have cooked away the runniness.
-
6
If they are still undercooked, cook them in 10-second intervals until just done.
-
7
Place a nonstick frying pan large enough for the tortilla to lie flat over medium-high heat.
-
8
Add the tortilla (no need to add any fat).
-
9
Sprinkle half the cheese over half the tortilla, followed by half the bacon.
-
10
Spoon the egg evenly over the cheese and bacon, followed by the remaining cheese, bacon, and cilantro, if desired.
-
11
Fold the bare half over the filled half.
-
12
Cook for about 2 minutes, or until the cheese is beginning to melt and the tortilla is lightly browned in spots.
-
13
Carefully flip the filled tortilla over and cook until the cheese is completely melted, 1 to 2 minutes.
-
14
Transfer the quesadilla to a serving plate and cut it into 4 wedges.
-
15
Serve immediately.
-
16
Follow the directions above, but instead of microwaving the egg whites, simply scramble them in a nonstick skillet lightly misted with spray over medium heat.
