Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Large eggs
- 2 tablespoons Whole milk
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- 2 pieces Large flour tortillas
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 slices Cooked bacon (optional)
- 0.25 cup Diced bell peppers (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Chopped scallions (optional)
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk together with the milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the butter. Once melted, pour in the egg mixture.
Gently stir the eggs as they cook, making soft folds, until they are just set and still creamy. Remove the scrambled eggs from the skillet and set aside.
Wipe the skillet clean with a paper towel and return it to medium-low heat. Drizzle with olive oil.
Place one tortilla in the skillet. Sprinkle half the shredded cheddar cheese evenly across the surface of the tortilla.
Layer half of the scrambled eggs on top of the cheese, followed by any optional toppings (bacon, bell peppers, scallions). Sprinkle another layer of cheese on top.
Place the second tortilla over the filling and press down slightly to seal. Cook for 2–3 minutes, or until the bottom tortilla is golden brown and crisp. Carefully flip the quesadilla using a large spatula.
Cook the other side for another 2–3 minutes until golden brown and the cheese is fully melted.
Transfer the quesadilla to a cutting board and let it cool for a minute before slicing into quarters.
Repeat the process for the second quesadilla if making separately. Serve warm with salsa, sour cream, or guacamole on the side.
