Ingredients
- 1 large tortilla
- 2 eggs
- ½ cup shredded cheese
- 1 tbsp butter or oil
- Salt & pepper to taste
- Optional: hot sauce, avocado, or 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. 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 your power-packed breakfast!
Notes
- You can use any cheese you prefer, such as cheddar, Monterey Jack, or a Mexican blend.
- For a healthier option, use a whole wheat tortilla and low-fat cheese.
- Add veggies like bell peppers or onions for extra flavor and nutrition.
- Make sure the skillet is not too hot to avoid burning the tortilla before the cheese melts.
- If cooking for more servings, prepare eggs and tortillas accordingly, cooking one at a time for best results.
