Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Large eggs
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoons Butter
- 4 pieces Flour tortillas (medium size)
- 1 cup Shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)
- 0.5 cup Salsa or pico de gallo
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 teaspoons Oil (for cooking, optional)
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl. Add the milk, salt, and pepper. Whisk well until the mixture is smooth and slightly frothy.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat and melt the butter.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Cook gently, stirring intermittently with a spatula, until the eggs are softly scrambled and just set. Remove the skillet from heat.
Place one tortilla on a clean, flat surface. Sprinkle about 1/4 cup of shredded cheese onto half of the tortilla. Add a generous spoonful of scrambled eggs on top of the cheese. Optionally, add a spoonful of salsa or pico de gallo and sprinkle some chopped cilantro.
Fold the tortilla in half to form a semi-circle. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and fillings.
Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add a small amount of oil if desired. Cook the folded quesadillas in the skillet for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the tortilla is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
Remove the quesadillas from the skillet and let them cool slightly before slicing into wedges.
Serve warm with additional salsa, sour cream, or guacamole on the side if desired.
