Breakfast Quesadillas with Scrambled Eggs


  • Author: Sophie Hart
  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Description

Four egg-and-cheddar breakfast quesadillas.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 eggs Large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons Whole milk
  • 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
  • 1/4 teaspoon Fine salt
  • 4 tortillas Large flour tortillas
  • 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2 scallions Scallions, sliced

Instructions

  1. Whisk six eggs with 2 tbsp milk and 1/4 tsp salt. Melt 1 tbsp of the 2 tbsp butter in a nonstick skillet and scramble over medium-low heat until egg curds are fully cooked; FDA's egg-dish endpoint is 160°F.
  2. Divide the cooked eggs, 1 cup cheddar and two sliced scallions among four large flour tortillas, placing filling on one half of each. Fold closed.
  3. Heat the remaining 1 tbsp butter across skillet batches. Cook quesadillas about two to three minutes per side over medium heat until tortillas are golden, cheese melts and centers are hot.
  4. Cut each into wedges and serve four provisional breakfast portions. Test egg fill, crispness and actual skillet-batch timing.

Notes

Recipe-development draft; not kitchen-tested. Timing and yield are estimates. Nutrition has not been calculated.
