Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs worth Egg whites
- 2 large Whole eggs
- 100 grams Cooked chicken breast
- 50 grams Low-fat cottage cheese
- 30 grams Fresh spinach
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Paprika
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 teaspoons Olive oil
Instructions
Prepare your ingredients: Dice the cooked chicken breast into small, bite-sized pieces and rinse the fresh spinach leaves to remove any dirt.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the egg whites and whole eggs until fully combined and slightly frothy.
Add the diced chicken breast, low-fat cottage cheese, fresh spinach, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper to the egg mixture. Stir gently to distribute the ingredients evenly.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil, swirling the pan to coat it evenly.
Once the oil is warm, pour the egg mixture into the skillet, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
Cook on medium heat for 4-5 minutes or until the bottom is set and golden brown. Reduce the heat if it starts to brown too quickly.
Flip the tortilla carefully using a plate or large spatula (depending on your comfort level) and cook the other side for an additional 3-4 minutes until set and fully cooked through.
Slide the High Protein Tortilla Francesa onto a plate, slice into wedges, and serve warm. Enjoy!
