Ingredients
- 2 flour tortillas
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup shredded cheese cheddar or mozzarella
- 1 avocado sliced
- 1 tablespoon butter for frying
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Heat the Skillet: Place a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the butter.
- Fry the Eggs: Crack one egg into the skillet, season with salt and pepper, and cook until the white is set but the yolk remains runny. Remove and repeat with the second egg.
- Assemble the Quesadilla: In the same skillet, place one tortilla and sprinkle half of the shredded cheese over it.
- Add the Filling: Place the fried eggs on top of the cheese and add the avocado slices.
- Top and Cook: Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the avocado, place the second tortilla on top, and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and the cheese is melted.
- Serve: Remove from the skillet, slice into wedges, and enjoy hot.
Notes
- Use Fresh Tortillas: Opt for fresh tortillas for better flavor and texture.
- Cook Eggs to Preference: Fry eggs to your desired doneness—runny yolks for a rich, creamy center.
- Cheese Choice Matters: Use cheeses that melt well, like cheddar, Monterey Jack, or a Mexican blend.
- Avoid Overstuffing: Keep the filling balanced to prevent the quesadilla from falling apart.
- Medium Heat is Key: Cook on medium heat for a crispy exterior and gooey interior.
