- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

- In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper.
- In the same skillet, melt the butter and scramble the eggs until just set, about 2 minutes.
- Lay a tortilla flat, add a fourth of the cheese, some scrambled eggs, and crumbled bacon to one half.
- Fold the tortilla over to create a half-moon shape.
- Cook the quesadilla in the skillet for 2–3 minutes on each side until golden brown and the cheese is melted.
- Allow to cool slightly, cut into sections, and garnish with optional toppings before serving.
Notes
Consider swapping flour tortillas for whole wheat or corn, and using different cheeses to customize your quesadilla.
