Ingredients

• 4 large Flour tortillas
• 6 large Eggs
• 2 tablespoons Milk
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Butter
• 1 cup Cooked ham, diced
• 1.5 cups Cheddar cheese, shredded
• 2 tablespoons Green onions, chopped
• 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil or non-stick spray
• 0.5 cup Salsa (optional, for serving)
• 0.5 cup Sour cream (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and melt the butter. Pour in the egg mixture and cook, stirring frequently, until the eggs are softly scrambled and just set. Remove from heat.

Step 3

Stir the diced ham and chopped green onions into the scrambled eggs. Set aside.

Step 4

Heat a large clean skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease it with vegetable oil or non-stick spray.

Step 5

Place one tortilla in the skillet and sprinkle about 1/4 cup of shredded cheese evenly over half of the tortilla.

Step 6

Spoon about 1/4 of the egg, ham, and green onion mixture on top of the cheese layer, and sprinkle an additional 1/4 cup of shredded cheese over the eggs.

Step 7

Fold the tortilla in half to cover the filling. Press down gently with a spatula to help seal the quesadilla.

Step 8

Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the tortilla is golden brown and crispy, and the cheese is melted inside.

Step 9

Transfer the quesadilla to a cutting board and repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.

Step 10

Cut each quesadilla into wedges and serve warm with salsa and sour cream, if desired.
