Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or your choice)
- 2 strips of cooked bacon, chopped
- 1 large flour tortilla
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Butter or oil for cooking
Instructions
- Whisk eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper in a small bowl.
- Heat a nonstick skillet over medium. Pour in the eggs and gently stir until they’re softly scrambled and fully cooked; remove from heat.
- Lay the tortilla flat. On one half, place the scrambled eggs, sprinkle the chopped bacon, and top with shredded cheese.
- Fold the tortilla over the filling and press lightly. Add a teaspoon of butter or a splash of oil to the skillet and return it to medium heat.
- Cook the folded quesadilla 2–3 minutes per side, until each side is golden-brown and the cheese is melted.
- Transfer to a cutting board, slice into wedges, and serve immediately.
Notes
Serve plain or with fresh fruit and a crisp salad. Toppings such as salsa, guacamole, or chipotle mayo enhance the flavor.
