Breakfast Quesadillas Recipe

Ingredients

• 2 eggs
• 1 tbsp butter
• 2 flour tortillas
• 1/3 cup shredded cheese

Instructions

1. Step 1: Whisk the Eggs
   Grab a medium bowl and crack in those eggs. Whisk them together until they're well combined, aiming for a nice, smooth consistency. If you see any stubborn egg whites hanging around, be sure to give them an extra good whisking. This will ensure your eggs are perfectly mixed for the perfect scramble.

2. Step 2: Melt Butter
   In a skillet over medium heat, melt a tablespoon of butter. Let it sizzle and coat the bottom of the pan, preparing it to work its magic with the eggs. Keep an eye on it; you want it melted, not browned. If it starts getting too hot, just lower the heat a tad to keep everything on track.

3. Step 3: Cook the Eggs
   Pour your whisked eggs into the skillet. Let them settle for a few seconds until you see a thin layer setting around the edges. Then, using a rubber spatula, gently stir the eggs, moving them around to create fluffy, soft curds. Aim for a glossy, tender texture—this is your cue that they’re perfectly done. Once you've reached that dreamy consistency, slide them out onto a plate and set aside for now.

4. Step 4: Prepare Tortilla Base
   Add another half tablespoon of butter to your skillet and allow it to melt over medium heat. Once melted, place a tortilla in the skillet. Sprinkle a third of a cup of shredded cheese evenly over it. Watch as the cheese begins to melt, forming a gooey base for the eggs.

5. Step 5: Assemble the Quesadilla
   Spread your cooked eggs evenly over the cheesy tortilla. Add another light layer of cheese on top, because who doesn't want more cheesiness? Finally, place the second tortilla over the filling, pressing gently to help everything meld together.

6. Step 6: Cook the Quesadilla
   Allow the bottom tortilla to cook until it turns a lovely golden brown. Carefully flip the quesadilla, using a spatula to hold everything together. If needed, add a bit more butter to the pan to help the other side brown evenly. Let it cook until both sides are beautifully golden and crispy.

7. Step 7: Rest and Serve
   Once cooked to perfection, transfer the quesadilla to a cutting board. Give it a minute or two to rest—it helps the cheese set a bit before cutting. Slice your delightful creation into triangles and, for a little extra flair, serve it with a side of salsa for dipping if the mood strikes. Enjoy each bite of your breakfast masterpiece!

Notes

Eggs cooking can be tricky for some. If they’re overcooked, they might end up rubbery instead of soft and fluffy. For silky eggs, remove them from the heat just before they’re fully cooked—they’ll finish cooking with residual heat.

Another common speed bump is overstuffing the quesadilla. Too much filling can make it hard to flip, leading to a cheese explosion. Aim for balance: a good layer of cheese and eggs, but not so much that the tortillas can’t close properly.

Finally, flipping the quesadilla too soon can leave you with a pale, limp tortilla. Wait until it's golden brown before turning it over. Patience is key for that perfect crunch!
