Ingredients
For the Quesadillas:
- 4 large eggs, beaten
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon butter (or olive oil)
- 2 ripe avocados, sliced or mashed (depending on preference)
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or a blend)
- 4 medium flour tortillas (whole wheat or gluten-free optional)
Optional Add-ins:
- ¼ cup diced tomatoes
- ¼ cup chopped green onions
- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes (for heat)
- Hot sauce or salsa (for serving)
Instructions
Cook the Eggs:
- Heat the butter in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Pour in the beaten eggs, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring gently, until soft and fluffy (about 3-4 minutes). Remove from heat and set aside.
Assemble the Quesadillas:
2. Place one tortilla on a clean surface. Sprinkle a quarter of the shredded cheese evenly over half of the tortilla. Top with a layer of scrambled eggs, avocado slices (or mashed avocado), and any optional add-ins like diced tomatoes or green onions. Sprinkle another quarter of the cheese on top to help bind everything together. Fold the tortilla in half to create a half-moon shape. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.
Cook the Quesadillas:
3. Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Cook each quesadilla for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the tortilla is golden brown and crispy, and the cheese is melted.
Serve and Enjoy:
4. Slice each quesadilla into wedges and serve warm. Garnish with fresh herbs like cilantro if desired, and serve with hot sauce, salsa, or sour cream on the side for dipping. Pair with a side of fresh fruit or a small salad for a complete breakfast.
