Ingredients
Scale
- 1 large flour tortilla (8–10 inch)
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup shredded cheddar or Mexican blend cheese
- 1 teaspoon butter or non-stick olive oil spray
- 1 tablespoon chopped green onions (optional)
- Pinch of salt and black pepper
- Salsa or hot sauce for serving
Instructions
- Step 1: Preparation
Crack the two eggs into a small bowl. Add a pinch of salt, black pepper, and the chopped green onions if you are using them. Whisk the eggs vigorously with a fork until they are well combined and slightly frothy. Set your tortilla and shredded cheese near the stove so they are ready for quick assembly. - Step 2: Cooking
Place a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the butter or spray the pan with oil. Once the butter melts and starts to bubble, pour in the egg mixture. Quickly place the tortilla directly on top of the liquid eggs. Press down gently so the egg adheres to the tortilla. Cook for about 1.5 to 2 minutes until the egg is set. Slide a spatula under the egg/tortilla and flip the whole thing over. Immediately sprinkle the shredded cheese over one half of the egg surface. Fold the tortilla in half to create a semi-circle, trapping the cheese in the middle. - Step 3: Plating
Press down on the folded quesadilla with your spatula for 30 seconds per side until the tortilla is golden brown and crispy, and the cheese has fully melted. Slide the Easy Breakfast Quesadilla 5 Min onto a cutting board. Let it rest for 30 seconds so the cheese sets, then slice it into three wedges. Serve immediately with a side of salsa or a dollop of sour cream.
