Egg and Cheese Breakfast Quesadilla with Avocado Slices
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 small flour tortillas
- 1 ripe avocado, sliced
- 1 tablespoon butter
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, beat the eggs and season with salt and pepper.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and melt the butter.
- Pour the beaten eggs into the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until just set, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat.
- Place 2 tortillas on a clean work surface. Sprinkle half of the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the tortillas.
- Divide the scrambled eggs equally between the two tortillas, spreading them over the cheese.
- Arrange the avocado slices on top of the eggs, then sprinkle the remaining cheese over the avocado slices.
- Top each with the remaining 2 tortillas to form quesadillas.
- Return the skillet to medium heat and carefully transfer one quesadilla to the skillet. Cook until the bottom tortilla is golden brown and the cheese is melted, about 2-3 minutes.
- Carefully flip the quesadilla and cook the other side until golden brown and the cheese is melted, about 2-3 minutes more.
- Repeat with the second quesadilla.
- Remove from the skillet and let cool for a minute before slicing each quesadilla into wedges.
- Serve hot and enjoy!
