Breakfast Quesadillas (Only 5 Ingredients)
Description
The recipe begins by whisking eggs with salt and cooking them gently in butter over medium heat until the edges set but the center remains slightly runny. This texture allows the cheese to melt well when sprinkled on top. A flour tortilla is placed over the eggs, sticking to the cheese and egg mixture. The quesadilla is then flipped to brown the tortilla and melt cheese on the other side. Additional cheese is added before the final flip to create a cheese layer between the folded tortilla.
This process results in a soft, warm breakfast quesadilla with a creamy egg filling and melted cheese encased in a lightly browned tortilla. The quesadilla can be served immediately and pairs well with sour cream, salsa, or guacamole if desired. Its simplicity and minimal ingredients provide a quick breakfast option that balances savory eggs and cheese in a handheld form.
Ingredients
- 1 flour tortilla
- 2 egg large
- 1/2 cup Mexican blend cheese
- 1 tbsp butter for frying, unsalted
- 1/4 tsp salt adjust to taste
Instructions
- Crack eggs into a bowl. Salt to taste. Whisk until the texture is smooth. Set aside.
- Preheat a skillet with butter over medium heat.
- Add egg mixture into the skillet, cooking until the center is still a bit runny and the edges are cooked.
- Sprinkle a handful of cheese on top.
- Add tortilla on top, allowing the egg and cheese to stick to the tortilla like glue.
- Flip it over and sprinkle cheese on half the egg.
- Flip the tortilla over, creating a half circle. Brown both sides.
- Serve warm alongside sour cream, salsa, or guacamole.
