Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 large tortilla
- 2 eggs
- ½ cup shredded cheese
- 1 tbsp butter or oil
- Salt & pepper to taste
Optional Toppings
- Hot sauce
- Avocado
- Salsa
Instructions
- Fry the Eggs: Heat the butter or oil in a skillet over medium heat. Crack in one egg and fry it to your preferred doneness—whether sunny side up, over-easy, or well-done. Once cooked, carefully set the fried egg aside.
- Prepare the Quesadilla: Using the same skillet, lay the tortilla flat. Evenly sprinkle shredded cheese over half of the tortilla, then place the fried egg on top of the cheese layer.
- Cook the Quesadilla: Fold the tortilla in half to cover the egg and cheese. Cook the folded quesadilla for 2-3 minutes on each side, gently pressing with a spatula until the tortilla turns golden brown and crispy while the cheese fully melts.
- Serve: Slice the quesadilla into wedges and serve it hot with optional toppings such as hot sauce, fresh avocado slices, or salsa. Enjoy your flavorful power breakfast!
Notes
- You can cook both eggs by repeating the frying step or by cracking both into the skillet if preferred.
- Use cheese varieties like cheddar, Monterey Jack, or a Mexican blend for different flavors.
- Adjust cooking time to achieve your ideal egg doneness and tortilla crispiness.
- Serve immediately for the best texture and taste.
- This recipe is easily doubled or tripled for more servings.
