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 large 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.
⅓ 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!

Avoid sogginess: Don’t overfill the breakfast quesadillas with wet ingredients or salsa, or they won't cook up crispy.
Prevent burning: Use moderate heat; butter the pan lightly rather than over-buttering.
Batch prep tip: Scramble the eggs with add-ins ahead of time; assemble and cook fresh.
