Egg and Cheese Breakfast Quesadilla
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 4 (8-inch) flour tortillas
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro (optional)
- Salsa, for serving (optional)
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 4 large eggs, 1/4 cup milk, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
- In a large non-stick skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Pour in the egg mixture and cook, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are just set, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat.
- Place 2 tortillas on a clean work surface. Sprinkle 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese evenly over each tortilla. Divide the scrambled eggs equally between the two tortillas and spread them over the cheese. Sprinkle with chopped cilantro, if using. Top each with another tortilla.
- Wipe out the skillet and return it to medium heat. Carefully transfer one quesadilla to the skillet and cook until the bottom is golden brown and the cheese is starting to melt, about 2-3 minutes. Carefully flip the quesadilla and cook until the second side is golden brown and the cheese is melted, about 2-3 minutes more. Repeat with the second quesadilla.
- Remove the quesadillas from the skillet and let them cool for a minute before cutting each into 4 wedges. Serve with salsa, if desired, and enjoy!
