Ingredients

Scale

Quesadilla Ingredients

  • 2 Flour tortillas
  • 1 cup Shredded cheese (Cheddar or mozzarella)
  • 1 Avocado (Sliced)

Eggs

  • 2 Large eggs
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

For Frying

  • 1 tbsp Butter

Instructions

  1. Heat the skillet: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a small amount of butter to coat the pan evenly.
  2. Cook the eggs: Crack one egg into the skillet, season with salt and pepper, and cook until the egg whites are set but the yolk remains runny. Remove from skillet and set aside. Repeat for the second egg.
  3. Assemble the quesadilla base: In the same skillet, place one tortilla flat and sprinkle half of the shredded cheese evenly over it.
  4. Add eggs and avocado: Place the fried eggs on top of the cheese layer, then add the sliced avocado over the eggs.
  5. Top and add cheese: Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheese over the avocado slices and cover with the second tortilla, pressing down gently.
  6. Cook the quesadilla: Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, flipping carefully, until each side is golden brown and the cheese inside has melted.
  7. Serve: Remove the quesadilla from the skillet, cut into wedges, and serve hot for maximum flavor and texture enjoyment.

Notes

  • Use a non-stick skillet for best results and minimal sticking.
  • To make yolks fully cooked, flip eggs and cook longer before assembling.
  • Cheese choice can be varied according to preference – pepper jack adds spice; mozzarella is milder.
  • For extra crispiness, brush the tortillas with a little oil or additional butter before cooking.
  • Serve with salsa, sour cream, or hot sauce for added flavor.
