What are Egg White Quesadillas
Basically, they are just like Quesadillas but instead of Tortillas, we are going to make an omelet and use it as our tortilla. Sounds fun and interesting, right? Well, guess what, it is healthy too. You save yourself from so many unhealthy carbs that you get from a tortilla and you substitute that with the goodness of non-meat protein like Cheese and Eggs.
There are just 3-steps in this recipe.
- Making Omelet with egg white.
- Adding Filling
- Cutting it in the shape of a Quesadilla
This has become my favorite recipe ever since I have tried it. It's super-easy, low carb, healthy, and takes hardly any time.

And, that's not it. We are not using Egg Yolk. We are using Egg whites. Egg whites are a better source of protein than egg yolks.

Why Choose Egg Whites over Egg Yolks
- Egg White is low in terms of calories when compared with Egg Yolks. Egg Yolks - 55 calories whereas Egg white - just 17
- Egg white is good for heart.
- Egg white lowers cholestrol and fat. Did you know that one Egg has 186 milligrams of Cholsestrol. That's a LOT. And, all of that is contributed by one single Egg Yolk. It's time we say good bye to our "Sunny Side ups".
Ingredients
- Egg whites
- Everything Bagel Seasoning
- Green, Yellow, and Red Bell Pepper (finely chopped)
- Mozzarella Cheese (shredded)

How to Make Egg White Breakfast Quesadillas
Step 1: Preheat Skillet and add egg white
Preheat the skillet over medium-high heat. Grease it with non-stick cooking spray. Add whisked egg whites and everything bagel seasoning. Do not touch for another 2-3 minutes.
Step 2: Add Bell Peppers and Cheese
Add Chopped Bell Peppers and Shredded Mozzarella Cheese on one side of the omelet.
Step 3: Fold Omelet
Fold Omelet in half and then flip over. Cook both sides until lightly golden brown and then take it off the skillet.
Step 4: Cut them into Quesadillas
Use a Pizza Cutter to cut them in the shape of a Quesadilla. Serve with Ketchup.
Storage:
I don't recommend storing this. Since this is such an easy recipe, you won't need much time to actually make it. And, it's not that we can't store it. We definitely can store them. But, the cheese won't taste as cheesy, melty, and tasty as it would in a freshly made version.
Tips & Tricks
In this recipe, there are few tricks that will make it easier for you to get it done.
- Separate Egg whites and yolk like a pro. Watch this video and you'll learn how to do it.
- Make sure you use a non-stick skillet. It will help you cook your Omelet faster and better.
- While folding the omelet it might happen that the filling oozes out. Don't panic. Just use another spoon to press down the area with the filling and then slowly fold it in half.
- Make sure you press down your omelet after you've turned in half so that the other side cooks completely.
Serving Suggestions
You can serve this Egg White Omelet Quesadillas with Ketchup. It tastes the best with Ketchup. But, if you want to get creative, you can try it with Yum Yum Sauce {Japanese Steak House Style} or sour cream or Greek yogurt.
Variations & Substitutions
- Spices - Haven't got everything bagel seasoning? No problem. Just combine onion powder, garlic powder, black sesame seeds, white sesame seeds and sea salt in a bowl. If you want you can add some poppy seed as well. Here is how to make Everything Bagel Seasoning at home. You can also try my Healthy Air fryer Bagels.
- Mexican Cheese - Instead of Mozzarella Cheese you can use any cheese of your cheese. Mexican cheese blend or Shredded Sharp Cheddar Cheese works well.
- Scallions and garlic - Instead of Chopped Bell Pepper as filling you can use any filling you like such as chopped scallions along with minced garlic.
