Description

This quick and easy breakfast quesadilla recipe combines fluffy eggs, melted cheese, and crisp tortillas for a delicious start to your day. Ready in just 15 minutes, it’s perfect for busy mornings and makes a satisfying two-serving meal.

Ingredients

Egg Mixture

  • 2 eggs
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

Main Ingredients

  • 2 tortillas (whole wheat or spelt preferred)
  • 1 cup Mexican blend cheese (or cheddar, monterey jack, mozzarella)
  • 1 teaspoon oil

Instructions

  1. Whisk Eggs: In a bowl, whisk together 2 eggs and 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt for about 30 seconds until fully combined and slightly frothy.
  2. Heat Pan: Place 1 teaspoon of oil in a 9-inch skillet over medium heat, coating the bottom evenly. Use a pan slightly larger than your tortilla for best results.
  3. Cook Omelette Base: Pour the whisked eggs into the pan, tilting it to spread the eggs evenly across the surface, creating a thin omelette layer.
  4. Loosen Edges: After about 30 seconds, gently run a spatula along the edges of the omelette to loosen it from the pan without folding or breaking it.
  5. Add Cheese and First Tortilla: Sprinkle half the cheese evenly over the omelette, then place one tortilla on top of the egg and cheese. Carefully flip the entire assembly onto a plate so the tortilla side is down.
  6. Reheat in Pan: Slide the omelette with tortilla side down back into the pan. Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top of the egg side, then cover with the second tortilla.
  7. Cook and Press: Cook the quesadilla for 1 minute, applying light pressure with a spatula to help the cheese melt evenly. Flip the quesadilla and cook the other side for another 30 seconds or until the tortillas are golden brown and cheese is fully melted.
  8. Serve: Remove from the pan, cut into wedges, and serve immediately for a warm, cheesy breakfast treat.

Notes

  • Use a non-stick skillet to prevent sticking and ensure easy flipping.
  • Feel free to customize with your favorite cheeses or add sautéed veggies for extra flavor.
  • Be gentle when flipping the quesadilla to keep it intact.
  • Whole wheat or spelt tortillas add a nutty flavor and boost fiber content.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated in a skillet or microwave for a quick snack.
