Ingredients
2 large eggs
2 medium flour tortillas (8-inch)
1/3 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1 tablespoon butter or cooking oil
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives or green onions (optional)
Hot sauce to taste (optional)
Instructions
1. Gather and pre-measure all ingredients to ensure quick, smooth cooking.
2. Crack eggs into a bowl and whisk until smooth. Season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder if using.
3. Heat half the butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add eggs and cook gently, folding until just set but still moist, about 1–2 minutes. Remove eggs from pan.
4. Add remaining butter to the skillet. Place tortilla in the pan and sprinkle half the cheese evenly over it.
5. Add scrambled eggs to one half of the tortilla, top with remaining cheese and optional chives, then fold tortilla in half.
6. Cook quesadilla until golden brown and crispy, about 1–2 minutes per side. Serve immediately, with hot sauce if desired.
Notes
Corn tortillas can be used for a gluten-free option.
Plant-based cheese works well for a dairy-free version.
Egg whites may be substituted for a lower-cholesterol option.
