Description
A quick and delicious recipe for Fried Egg Quesadilla, perfect for a tasty meal.
Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- 2 medium flour tortillas
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon butter
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Sour cream (for serving, optional)
- Salsa (for serving, optional)
Instructions
- In a small bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them together with a pinch of salt and pepper until well combined.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the butter. Once melted, pour in the whisked eggs. Cook, stirring gently, until the eggs are scrambled and just set, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat.
- Place one tortilla in the skillet over low heat. Sprinkle half of the cheddar cheese evenly over the tortilla.
- Spoon the scrambled eggs over the cheese, then top with the remaining cheese. Place the second tortilla on top.
- Cook for about 2-3 minutes until the bottom tortilla is golden brown and the cheese begins to melt. Carefully flip the quesadilla using a large spatula and cook for another 2-3 minutes on the other side until golden brown and crispy.
- Remove from the skillet and let it cool for a minute before cutting into wedges. Serve with sour cream and salsa if desired.
Notes
- For added flavor, mix in chopped vegetables like bell peppers or onions with the eggs while scrambling.
- Try using different types of cheese, such as pepper jack or mozzarella, for a unique twist on the classic quesadilla.
