Ingredients

Tap an ingredient to tick it off. Doubling changes the amounts, not the nutrition panel — that stays per serving.

Method

  1. Cook the garlic and spinach in a dry 10-inch (25cm) nonstick skillet over medium heat for 2 minutes, until just wilted, then tip it all onto a plate.
  2. Scatter the mozzarella over the dry pan and let it melt and stop bubbling, about 1 minute. Beat the eggs with the egg white, pour over the cheese and cook without stirring for 2 minutes, until the edges set.
  3. Spoon the spinach over one half and fold. Slide onto the plate and top with the avocado, chili flakes and lime juice.
Chef’s tipSlow it: The avocado brings the fat and fiber that slow this plate down. The cheese crust does the job a tortilla would, with almost no carbohydrate.
KeepMade and eaten in ten minutes. It does not keep well.
