Ingredients

• 2 pieces Large eggs
• 2 tablespoons Milk
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 1 tablespoons Butter
• 1 pieces Flour tortilla
• 0.5 cups Shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or a mix)
• 1 tablespoons Fresh parsley or cilantro (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium mixing bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them together with the milk, salt, and black pepper until fully combined.

Step 2

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the butter. Swirl the butter around until it has melted and coats the entire surface of the pan.

Step 3

Pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Let it sit for about 10-15 seconds, then gently stir with a spatula, forming large curds. Remove the scrambled eggs from the heat just before they are fully cooked; they will finish cooking in the quesadilla.

Step 4

Lay the tortilla flat on a clean surface. Sprinkle half of the shredded cheese evenly over one side of the tortilla.

Step 5

Gently place the scrambled eggs on top of the cheese layer, spreading them out evenly. Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the eggs, then fold the tortilla in half to enclose the filling.

Step 6

Wipe down the skillet with a paper towel, if necessary, and place it back on medium heat. Carefully transfer the folded tortilla to the skillet.

Step 7

Cook the tortilla for 2-3 minutes on one side, or until golden brown and crisp. Flip carefully and cook the other side for an additional 2-3 minutes until the cheese has melted and the tortilla is evenly browned.

Step 8

Remove the eggadilla from the skillet and allow it to cool for 1-2 minutes before slicing it into halves or quarters.

Step 9

Garnish with fresh parsley or cilantro if desired, and serve immediately. Enjoy your warm, cheesy eggadilla!
