Ingredients Needed

  • 1 tablespoon milk
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Step By Step Making

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  2. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the butter or cooking spray.
  3. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are just set but still slightly moist. Remove the eggs from the skillet and set aside.
  4. Wipe the skillet clean. Place one tortilla in the skillet over medium heat.
  5. Sprinkle half of the cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese over one half of the tortilla.
  6. Top the cheese with the cooked scrambled eggs and any optional ingredients you are using.
  7. Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the eggs and optional ingredients.
  8. Fold the other half of the tortilla over the filling to create a semicircle.
  9. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the tortilla is golden brown and crispy, and the cheese is melted and gooey.
  10. Slide the quesadilla onto a cutting board, cut it into wedges, and serve immediately. Repeat with the second tortilla if making more than one.
