Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large eggs
- 1 whole wheat tortilla
- 1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or your choice)
- 1/4 cup diced bell pepper (optional)
- 1/4 cup chopped spinach (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Cooking spray or a little olive oil
Instructions
- Whisk the Eggs:
In a bowl, whisk the eggs, adding salt and pepper to taste. This step is crucial for achieving a fluffy texture. - Prepare the Skillet:
Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with cooking spray or olive oil. This will prevent the eggs from sticking and ensure even cooking. - Cook the Eggs:
Pour the whisked eggs into the skillet and cook until just set, stirring occasionally. This should take about 3-4 minutes. - Assemble the Quesadilla:
On one half of the tortilla, sprinkle the shredded cheese, followed by the cooked eggs. Add any vegetables you like, such as bell peppers or spinach, for added flavor and nutrition. - Fold and Cook the Quesadilla:
Fold the tortilla in half to enclose the filling. Place it back in the skillet and cook until the cheese melts and the tortilla is golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. - Serve:
Slice the quesadilla into wedges and serve warm. You can enjoy it with salsa or avocado if desired for an extra burst of flavor.
