Ingredients Needed
* 2 large eggs

Step By Step Making
1. In a small bowl, crack the two eggs. Add the milk, salt, and pepper. Whisk them together until they are well mixed.
2. Heat a nonstick pan over medium heat. Add the olive oil or butter to the pan.
3. Pour the egg mixture into the hot pan. Cook the eggs, stirring gently, until they are soft and scrambled. If you are adding ham or spinach, stir them in now.
4. Remove the cooked eggs from the pan and set them aside on a plate.
5. Place the flour tortilla flat in the same pan.
6. Sprinkle half of the shredded cheese evenly over one half of the tortilla.
7. Spoon the scrambled eggs onto the same half of the tortilla where you put the cheese.
8. Sprinkle the rest of the cheese over the eggs.
9. Fold the empty half of the tortilla over the half with the eggs and cheese.
10. Cook the quesadilla for about 2 to 3 minutes on each side, until the tortilla is golden brown and crispy, and the cheese inside is melted and bubbly.
11. Carefully slide the quesadilla onto a cutting board. Cut it into two or three wedges and serve warm.
