Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces large flour tortillas
- 3 pieces eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 0.5 cup red bell pepper, diced
- 1 cup fresh spinach leaves
- 2 pieces green onions, sliced
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup salsa
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the butter. Once melted, pour in the egg mixture.
Cook the eggs, stirring occasionally, until they are softly scrambled. Remove from heat and transfer to a plate.
In the same skillet, add olive oil and sauté the diced red bell pepper for about 2-3 minutes until softened.
Add the fresh spinach leaves and sliced green onions to the skillet with the bell pepper and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the spinach is wilted. Remove from heat.
Take a tortilla and place half of the scrambled eggs onto one half of the tortilla.
Top with half the sautéed vegetables, then sprinkle with half of the shredded cheddar cheese.
Fold the tortilla in half over the filling.
Return the skillet to medium heat. Place the folded quesadilla in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the tortilla is golden brown and the cheese has melted.
Repeat with the remaining tortilla and ingredients.
Cut each quesadilla into wedges and serve warm with salsa on the side for dipping.
