Chili Garlic Breakfast Quesadilla
Description
The Chili Garlic Breakfast Quesadilla starts with a fried egg cooked to your preference, then folded inside a tortilla spread with chili garlic sauce and shredded cheddar. Fresh spinach adds a mild, leafy contrast to the spicy sauce and rich cheese. After assembly, the quesadilla is cooked in the skillet on both sides until the tortilla turns golden brown and crispy, and the cheese melts fully, providing a satisfying texture contrast between the crunchy exterior and tender filling.
This quesadilla works well as a quick, portable breakfast or brunch item that combines protein, spice, and greens in one. The balance of creamy melted cheese and spicy chili garlic sauce highlights the flavors without overpowering the egg. The modest ingredient list keeps preparation straightforward.
Cook over medium heat to ensure the tortilla crisps without burning and the cheese melts evenly. Folding carefully secures the filling and aids in even cooking on both sides before slicing to serve.
Ingredients
- 1 tsp butter $0.04
- 1 egg $0.21, large
- 1 inch tortilla $0.14
- 1 tsp Chili garlic sauce $0.04
- 1/4 cup cheddar cheese $0.21, shredded
- 1/2 cup spinach $0.19, fresh
Instructions
- Add the butter to a skillet and heat over medium. When the skillet is hot, add the egg and fry until over-easy (or your preferred level of doneness).
- While the egg cooks, spread the chili garlic paste on one half of the tortilla. Add the shredded cheese on top of the chili garlic sauce.
- When the egg is finished cooking, place it on top of the shredded cheese on the tortilla. Top with the fresh spinach, then fold the tortilla closed.
- Transfer the stuffed and folded tortilla back to the skillet used to cook the egg. Continue to cook over medium on both sides until golden brown and crispy and the cheese is melted on the inside.
- Slice the breakfast quesadilla in half, then enjoy!
