Instructions
Creating your Egg Quesadilla can be straightforward by following these simple steps:
1. Prepare Ingredients: Gather all the ingredients and dice any vegetables or meats you wish to include.
2. Whisk Eggs: In a medium bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them together. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
3. Cook Eggs: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add butter or oil. Pour in the whisked eggs and scramble until fully cooked, about 3-5 minutes. Remove from heat.
4. Assemble Quesadilla: On one tortilla, spread half of the scrambled eggs evenly. Top with cheese and any additional fillings you like. Place the other tortilla on top.
5. Cook Quesadilla: Wipe the skillet clean and return it to the stove over medium heat. Carefully place the assembled quesadilla in the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until the bottom is golden brown.
6. Flip and Cook: Use a spatula to flip the quesadilla gently. Cook for another 3-4 minutes until the second side is crispy and the cheese is melted.
7. Slice and Serve: Once cooked, remove the quesadilla from the skillet and let it cool for a minute. Slice it into wedges and serve hot.
