Breakfast Quesadilla
Servings: 2 · Yield: 2 (6-inch) quesadillas · Prep 10 min · Cook 20 min · Total 30 min
A folded omelet and cheese between tortillas. It makes two, one after the other, in the same small pan.
Beat 2 eggs with 1 1/2 tablespoons milk in a bowl:
4 large eggs, divided
3 tablespoons milk, divided
Melt 1 teaspoon butter in a 6-inch frying pan over medium heat:
2 teaspoons butter, divided
Add:
¼ cup diced green bell pepper
¼ cup diced onion
Cook until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Remove 1/2 of the mixture and set aside in a bowl.
Pour into the skillet:
the egg mixture
the remaining vegetable mixture
Tilt the pan. Gently push one side of the egg away from the side, without breaking it. Let the uncooked egg run onto the pan. Repeat with all 4 sides of the egg, cooking until the bottom is set, about 2 minutes. Flip over and cook until the bottom is slightly browned, 1 to 2 minutes more.
You need:
4 (6 inch) flour tortillas, divided
2 (1/2 inch thick) slices processed cheese (such as Velveeta®), divided
Slide the omelet onto a tortilla, then slide the tortilla back onto the pan. Place 1 cheese slice onto the omelet and top with another tortilla. Cook until the bottom is browned, about 2 minutes. Flip and brown opposite side, about 1 minute more. Slide the quesadilla onto a plate and cut into 4 pieces.
Beat the remaining 2 eggs and 1 1/2 tablespoons milk together in a bowl. Grease the same pan with the remaining 1 teaspoon butter. Repeat steps 3 and 4 (the omelet and the quesadilla above). Use the reserved vegetable mixture and the remaining cheese and tortillas.
