Equipment

  • Skillet

Ingredients

  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tbsp butter You could use olive oil or cooking spray, too
  • 2 flour tortillas
  • 1/3 cup shredded cheese I like Colby jack or cheddar blends

Instructions

  • Whisk together eggs a medium bowl.
    2 eggs
  • Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the eggs and cook, undisturbed, until a thin layer of cooked egg appears around the edge of the skillet. Using a rubber spatula gently move the eggs around the skillet until they are nice and fluffy. They will still be glossy in color.
    1 tbsp butter
  • Once your eggs are done, remove them from the heat and get ready to add them to your flour tortillas.
    2 flour tortillas
  • Add 1/2 tablespoon of butter to a skillet over medium heat – swirling around the pan until melted.
  • Next, add 1 tortilla to the pan ( I use the burrito size) and top with a sprinkle of melted cheese. 
    1/3 cup shredded cheese
  • Then, add your eggs to the tortilla evenly and top with the remaining cheese. Place the second tortilla on top.
  • Cook the bottom tortilla until lightly brown, then flipping over and browning the other side evenly. Add 1/2 tbsp of butter if needed.
  • Once it’s brown, remove the quesadilla to a cutting board and allow to rest for 1-2 minutes. Cut into triangles and serve with salsa if desired!
