Ingredients
-
2 large eggs
-
1 tbsp milk or water
-
Salt and pepper to taste
-
½ ripe avocado, sliced or mashed
-
¼ cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or Monterey Jack)
-
1 medium flour tortilla
-
1 tsp butter or oil for cooking
-
Optional: salsa, hot sauce, or chopped cilantro for serving
Instructions
1️⃣ Scramble the eggs: In a small bowl, whisk the eggs with milk or water, salt, and pepper. Heat a skillet over medium heat, add butter or oil, and scramble the eggs until just set. Remove and set aside.
2️⃣ Assemble the quesadilla: Lay the tortilla flat and sprinkle half the cheese over one half of the tortilla. Layer on the scrambled eggs and avocado. Top with the remaining cheese.
3️⃣ Cook the quesadilla: Fold the tortilla in half over the filling. Return the skillet to medium heat, add a little more butter or oil if needed, and cook the quesadilla for 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown and the cheese is melted.
4️⃣ Slice and serve: Remove from the skillet, let cool slightly, then cut into wedges. Serve with salsa, hot sauce, or fresh herbs if desired.
