Ingredients
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 tortillas (I use whole wheat or spelt)
- 1 cup Mexican blend cheese (or you can use cheddar, monterey jack or mozzarella)
- 1 teaspoon oil
Instructions
- Whisk 2 eggs and salt in a bowl for 30 seconds until combined.
- Place 1 tsp of oil in a 9 inch pan over medium heat, coating the bottom of the pan (make sure to use a pan that is at least slightly larger than your tortilla).
- Pour in the whisked eggs, tilting the pan to spread it evenly across.
- Let the omelette cook for 30 seconds then gently use your spatula to go along the edges of the omelette, lifting them away from the pan to loosen.
- Sprinkle half the cheese on top of the omelette, place one tortilla on top of the egg and cheese and flip it onto a plate (you can watch how I do this in the video below).
- Slide the omelette, tortilla side-down, back into the pan, sprinkle the remaining cheese on top of the egg and place another tortilla on top to cover.
- Continue to cook the quesadilla for 1 minute, pressing down lightly with a spatula to help melt the cheese, then flip the quesadilla to cook the other side for an additional 30 seconds or until cheese melts and tortilla is golden.
- Cut into wedges and serve.
Notes
- The Plate Trick: To flip your quesadilla easily without making a mess, use what I call "the plate trick". After cooking the eggs with the first tortilla on top, place a plate over the skillet, and hold it firmly while you flip the skillet so the quesadilla lands on the plate. Then, slide the quesadilla back into the skillet and top with another tortilla. If you want to watch the video above to see how to do it, it will walk you through the simple process in detail.
- Make for a Crowd: If you're serving a crowd for breakfast, keep finished quesadillas warm by placing them on a baking sheet in a 200°F oven while you finish the rest.
- Smaller Tortilla: If you use a smaller tortilla than 8 inches, use 1 egg per quesadilla and 1/4 cup of cheese.
