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 preferred level of doneness—sunny side up, over-easy, or well-done. Once cooked, remove the egg from the skillet and set aside.
- Prepare the Quesadilla: Using the same skillet, place the tortilla flat in the pan. Sprinkle shredded cheese over half of the tortilla, then carefully place the fried egg on top of the cheese.
- Cook the Quesadilla: Fold the tortilla in half to cover the egg and cheese. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, pressing gently with a spatula until the tortilla is golden brown and crispy, and the cheese has fully melted.
- Serve: Remove from heat, cut the quesadilla into wedges, and serve with your favorite toppings such as hot sauce, avocado slices, or salsa. Enjoy immediately while warm and melty.
Notes
- You can adjust the number of eggs based on your protein needs.
- Use any cheese of your choice, such as cheddar, Monterey Jack, or a Mexican blend.
- For a healthier option, use a whole wheat or low-carb tortilla.
- To add extra flavor, include diced onions, peppers, or cooked bacon inside the quesadilla before folding.
- Make sure to cook on medium heat to avoid burning the tortilla while melting the cheese.
- Serve immediately for best texture and flavor.
