Original recipe makes 2
1/2 cupEgg Substitute
1/2 cupLow-fat cottage cheese
1 tablespoonSoy protein powder
Non-stick spray
2 stripsTurkey bacon; - cooked & crumbled
1 teaspoonParsley; - or cilantro, chopped
1 largeLow Carb Tortilla
1/4 cupSalsa; - Choose your heat level

Low-Carb Breakfast Scramble Preparation

Place the cottage cheese in a tea strainer and allow it to drain excess liquid.

Cut a tortilla in half and place each half on a plate.

Blend the egg substitute with the soy protein then add in the cottage cheese.

Scramble this in a sprayed pan until it starts to set. Add in the crumbled bacon and stir in the parsley.

When the eggs have set place 1/2 of the mixture on each tortilla. Placing it slightly to one side of center makes the next step easier.

Put a spoonful of salsa on top of the eggs then roll the tortilla into a cone shape. Put the rest of the salsa on the top as a garnish. Sprinkle with more cilantro (or green onion) if you wish.

Serve immediately.

I may not have strained the Cottage Cheese properly but it turned out really watery. Not a ton of flavor - I used green onions, so the cilantro probably would have given it a better kick.
