Scale
Quesadilla Ingredients
- 1 large tortilla
- ½ cup shredded cheese
- 1 tbsp butter or oil
Egg Ingredients
- 2 eggs
- Salt & pepper to taste
Optional Toppings
- Hot sauce
- Avocado
- 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. Once done, set the egg aside.
- Prepare the Quesadilla: In the same skillet, lay the tortilla flat. Sprinkle shredded cheese over half of the tortilla, then 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 is golden and crispy, and the cheese is melted.
- Serve: Cut the quesadilla into wedges and serve with your favorite toppings like hot sauce, avocado, or salsa. Enjoy!
Notes
- Cook the eggs to your preferred doneness to customize texture and flavor.
- Use a non-stick skillet to prevent sticking and make flipping easier.
- Feel free to add vegetables like spinach or bell peppers inside for extra nutrition.
- If using avocado, add it fresh after cooking to keep its creamy texture.
- You can substitute the tortilla with a whole wheat or gluten-free option if desired.
