I was just fixing my breakfast and thought hmm, I have this handy dandy camera phone (Treo 650) in my pocket, why don't I share it with everyone? So here you go.

Microwave egg poacher, $1.25 or so at Target or Walmart


Crack the egg into one of the sides, puncture the yolk a few times with a fork.


Close it up, microwave for 45 seconds to a minute. Spread out a slice of cheese on the tortilla, ready for the egg. I use La Tortilla Factory low carb tortillas, 3g of carbs, 50 calories apiece.


Break up the egg and put it on the cheese, so the cheese will melt.


Roll it up, and you're done! I usually stick it back in the microwave for another 5 to 10 seconds to warm the tortilla, and also to melt the cheese a little more.


156 calories, 7g carbs... 1.5 protein, 1 carb. You can omit the cheese for 125 calories, 4g carbs.
