Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- 2 flour tortillas
- 1/2 cup shredded cheese cheddar or mozzarella
- 1 tablespoon butter or oil for cooking
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Salsa optional, for serving
- Guacamole optional, for serving
Instructions
Prepare the pan:
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and melt the butter or heat the oil.
Cook the eggs:
- Crack the eggs into the pan, season with salt and pepper, and cook until the yolk is slightly set, about 2-3 minutes. For a firmer yolk, cook a bit longer.
Assemble the quesadilla:
- Place a tortilla in the pan and sprinkle half of the cheese on top. Add the fried egg, then top with the remaining cheese and the second tortilla.
Cook the quesadilla:
- Press gently with a spatula and cook for 2-3 minutes until the bottom tortilla is golden brown and crispy. Flip the quesadilla and cook for another 2 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and the tortilla is crispy.
Serve:
- Remove from the pan, slice into wedges, and serve with salsa and guacamole if desired. Enjoy!
