→ Cooking Essentials
05 -
1 tablespoon butter, for cooking
06 -
Salt and pepper, to taste
# Instructions:
01 -
Heat your non-stick skillet over medium heat and melt a small pat of butter. Crack one egg into the hot skillet, season with a pinch of salt and pepper, and cook until the white is set but the yolk stays nice and runny. Set aside and repeat with the second egg.
02 -
Using the same skillet, place one tortilla flat and sprinkle half of your shredded cheese evenly across the surface.
03 -
Place your beautiful fried eggs on top of the cheese layer, then arrange the avocado slices around them.
04 -
Sprinkle the remaining cheese over everything and top with the second tortilla, pressing down gently.
05 -
Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side until the tortilla turns golden brown and crispy, and all that cheese gets wonderfully melty. Flip carefully using your spatula!
06 -
Slide the quesadilla onto a cutting board, slice into wedges, and serve while it's hot and the cheese is still gooey.
# Notes:
01 -
This versatile quesadilla works for any meal of the day - breakfast, lunch, or a quick dinner.
02 -
For extra flavor, try adding a dash of hot sauce or a sprinkle of fresh herbs before serving.
03 -
If you like your eggs more well-done, simply break the yolk while cooking or flip for over-easy style.
