Ingredients

• 4 pieces Large eggs
• 2 tablespoons Milk
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper
• 1 tablespoons Butter
• 4 pieces Flour tortillas (medium size)
• 1 cup Shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)
• 0.5 cup Salsa or pico de gallo
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped
• 1 teaspoons Oil (for cooking, optional)

Directions

Step 1

Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl. Add the milk, salt, and pepper. Whisk well until the mixture is smooth and slightly frothy.

Step 2

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat and melt the butter.

Step 3

Pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Cook gently, stirring intermittently with a spatula, until the eggs are softly scrambled and just set. Remove the skillet from heat.

Step 4

Place one tortilla on a clean, flat surface. Sprinkle about 1/4 cup of shredded cheese onto half of the tortilla. Add a generous spoonful of scrambled eggs on top of the cheese. Optionally, add a spoonful of salsa or pico de gallo and sprinkle some chopped cilantro.

Step 5

Fold the tortilla in half to form a semi-circle. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and fillings.

Step 6

Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add a small amount of oil if desired. Cook the folded quesadillas in the skillet for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the tortilla is golden brown and the cheese is melted.

Step 7

Remove the quesadillas from the skillet and let them cool slightly before slicing into wedges.

Step 8

Serve warm with additional salsa, sour cream, or guacamole on the side if desired.
