Description
A delicious and easy-to-make Cheesy Fried Egg Quesadilla, perfect for breakfast or a quick meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 flour tortillas (8-inch)
- 1 tablespoon butter
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Sour cream (for serving)
- Salsa (for serving)
Instructions
- In a small bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them together with a pinch of salt and pepper until well combined.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the butter. Once melted, pour in the eggs and scramble until fully cooked, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat.
- Lay one tortilla flat in the skillet. Sprinkle half of the shredded cheese evenly over the tortilla.
- Spoon the scrambled eggs over the cheese, then top with the remaining cheese. Place the second tortilla on top.
- Cook for about 3-4 minutes, or until the bottom tortilla is golden brown and the cheese is starting to melt. Carefully flip the quesadilla using a spatula and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes on the other side.
- Once both sides are golden and the cheese is melted, remove the quesadilla from the skillet and let it cool for a minute. Cut into wedges and serve with sour cream and salsa.
Notes
- For added flavor, mix in diced bell peppers or onions with the scrambled eggs.
- Try using different types of cheese, such as pepper jack or mozzarella, for a unique twist.
