Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2 flour tortillas (8-inch size)
  • 1 tablespoon butter

Instructions

  1. Cook Eggs: Crack the eggs into a bowl and beat them lightly. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a small amount of butter or oil. Pour the eggs in and cook, stirring gently until they are fully cooked but still soft. Remove from the skillet.
  2. Assemble Quesadilla: Place one tortilla flat on a clean surface. Sprinkle half of the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the tortilla, then spread the cooked eggs on top. Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the eggs, then top with the second tortilla.
  3. Toast Quesadilla: Heat the skillet over medium heat and add butter to coat the pan. Carefully place the assembled quesadilla in the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side or until the tortillas are golden brown and crisp and the cheese is melted. Use a spatula to flip the quesadilla gently.
  4. Serve: Remove the quesadilla from the skillet and let it cool slightly. Slice into wedges and serve warm.

Notes

  • You can add diced vegetables or cooked bacon for variation.
  • Use whole wheat tortillas for a healthier option.
  • Cook the eggs to your preferred doneness; scrambled or slightly runny also works.
  • Adjust cheese quantity based on your taste preference.
  • Serve with salsa, sour cream, or guacamole for extra flavor.
