Ingredients
Scale
Egg Mixture
- 4 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon milk or water
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
For Cooking
- 1 teaspoon butter or oil
Quesadilla Assembly
- 4 medium flour tortillas (8-inch)
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or a blend)
Optional Toppings
- Salsa
- Avocado
- Hot sauce
Instructions
- Prepare the Egg Mixture: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk or water, salt, and black pepper until well combined and slightly frothy to ensure fluffy scrambled eggs.
- Cook the Eggs: Heat the butter or oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat until melted and hot. Pour in the egg mixture and cook gently, stirring occasionally with a spatula, until the eggs are softly set but still moist. Remove from heat.
- Assemble the Quesadillas: Lay one flour tortilla flat on a clean surface. Evenly spread a quarter of the cooked scrambled eggs over half of the tortilla, then sprinkle a generous amount of shredded cheese on top of the eggs. Fold the tortilla over to form a half-moon shape.
- Cook the Quesadillas: In the same skillet, over medium heat, place the folded quesadilla and cook for about 2-3 minutes per side or until the tortilla is golden brown and crispy and the cheese has melted. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.
- Serve: Cut each quesadilla into wedges and serve warm with optional salsa, sliced avocado, or hot sauce for added flavor and texture.
Notes
- Using milk or water in the eggs helps make the scramble creamier and fluffier.
- Feel free to customize the filling with cooked vegetables, beans, or cooked meats.
- For a crisper quesadilla, press it gently with a spatula while cooking.
- Use a non-stick skillet to prevent sticking and ease flipping.
- Cheese choice can be adjusted to preference or what you have on hand.
