Ingredients
- 2 large flour tortillas (8-inch size)
- 3 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon milk (optional, for fluffier eggs)
- ½ cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or Mexican blend)
- 1 tablespoon butter or oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Optional Fillings:
- Cooked bacon, sausage, or ham (chopped)
- Diced bell peppers or onions
- Spinach, avocado, or tomatoes
- Salsa or hot sauce (for serving)
Instructions
- Scramble Eggs: In a bowl, whisk eggs, milk, salt, and pepper. Heat butter in a skillet over medium heat. Pour in the eggs and cook, stirring, until just set. Remove from heat.
- Assemble Quesadilla: Place one tortilla in the same skillet (or a clean pan) over medium heat. Sprinkle half the cheese evenly, then add scrambled eggs and any optional fillings. Top with remaining cheese and second tortilla.
- Cook Until Crispy: Cook for 1–2 minutes per side, pressing gently with a spatula, until golden brown and cheese is melted.
- Slice & Serve: Remove from pan, let cool slightly, then cut into wedges. Serve with salsa, sour cream, or avocado slices.
Notes
Make Ahead: Cook eggs and fillings ahead of time; assemble and heat when ready to serve.
Customize: Try it with mushrooms, turkey bacon, or black beans for added flavor and protein.
Cheese Tip: A mix of cheddar and Monterey Jack melts beautifully and adds extra flavor.
Serving Suggestions: Pair with fresh fruit, hash browns, or a smoothie for a complete breakfast.
Storage Tips: Wrap leftovers in foil and refrigerate for up to 2 days. Reheat in a skillet or air fryer until crispy.
