Quick and delicious crispy breakfast quesadillas filled with fluffy scrambled eggs and gooey cheese, perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 tablespoons whole milk or cream
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 8 flour tortillas (8-inch size)
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or a blend)
  • Sour cream, for serving (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
  • Optional add-ins: diced cooked bacon, sautéed bell peppers, diced avocado

Instructions

  1. Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl.
  2. Add the milk or cream, followed by salt and pepper. Whisk until smooth and frothy.
  3. Preheat a skillet over medium-low heat and melt the butter.
  4. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Let it sit undisturbed for about 30 seconds before stirring gently until the eggs are softly set, roughly 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat.
  5. Wipe the skillet clean and reheat over medium heat with a small pat of butter.
  6. Place one tortilla flat in the pan. Sprinkle about 1/4 cup of cheese over half the tortilla.
  7. Spoon half of the scrambled eggs on top of the cheese, adding cilantro if desired.
  8. Fold the tortilla over to form a half-moon shape, pressing down gently.
  9. Cook for 2-3 minutes on one side until golden and crisp. Flip and cook the other side for another 2-3 minutes.
  10. Transfer to a plate and repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.
  11. Serve immediately with sour cream, salsa, or your favorite hot sauce.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet for the best texture.
