Description
A quick and delicious breakfast quesadilla that is easy to make and perfect for busy mornings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 large flour tortilla (8-inch)
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 1/3 cup shredded cheddar cheese or Monterey Jack cheese
- 2 tablespoons diced bell pepper
- 2 tablespoons chopped baby spinach
- 2 tablespoons diced tomato
- 1 tablespoon chopped green onion
- 1 teaspoon butter or olive oil
Instructions
- Whisk eggs with milk, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl until fully combined.
- Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add butter or olive oil, then pour in the egg mixture. Stir gently until eggs are just scrambled and lightly set, then remove from heat.
- Lay the flour tortilla flat on a cutting board. Sprinkle half of the shredded cheese over one side. Top with scrambled eggs, chosen vegetable fillings, and remaining cheese. Fold the tortilla in half, pressing lightly to enclose the filling.
- Wipe out the skillet if necessary, return to medium heat, and place the folded quesadilla in the pan. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes per side, pressing gently, until golden brown and cheese has fully melted.
- Remove quesadilla from skillet. Slice into wedges with a sharp knife and serve immediately.
Notes
- Feel free to customize the fillings based on your preferences.
- For a spicier kick, consider adding jalapeños or hot sauce.
- Quesadillas can be made ahead of time and reheated for quick breakfasts during the week.
