Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 large tortilla
- 2 eggs
- ½ cup shredded cheese
- 1 tbsp butter or oil
- Salt & pepper to taste
Optional Toppings
- Hot sauce
- Avocado slices
- Salsa
Instructions
- Fry the Eggs: Heat the butter or oil in a skillet over medium heat. Crack in one egg and fry it to your desired doneness—sunny side up, over-easy, or well-done. Season with salt and pepper, then once cooked, set the egg aside.
- Prepare the Quesadilla: In the same skillet, lay the tortilla flat. Sprinkle shredded cheese evenly over half of the tortilla. Place the fried egg on top of the cheese.
- Cook the Quesadilla: Fold the tortilla in half, covering the egg and cheese. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, pressing gently with a spatula until the tortilla turns golden and crispy, and the cheese inside melts thoroughly.
- Serve: Remove the quesadilla from the skillet, cut into wedges, and serve immediately with optional toppings like hot sauce, avocado slices, or salsa for extra flavor. Enjoy your power-packed breakfast!
Notes
- Use your preferred type of cheese for different flavor profiles.
- For a healthier option, use olive oil instead of butter.
- Adjust the cooking time to achieve your preferred egg doneness.
- Additional fillings such as cooked bacon, sautéed vegetables, or beans can be added for extra nutrition.
- This recipe serves one but can be easily scaled up.
