Ingredients

• 3 pieces Large eggs
• 2 tablespoons Milk
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 4 slices Cooked bacon
• 0.5 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
• 2 pieces Flour tortillas (8-inch)
• 1 tablespoon Butter
• 1 tablespoon Chopped chives (optional)
• 0 Salsa (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Crack the eggs into a medium-sized bowl and whisk them together with the milk, salt, and pepper until well combined.

Step 2

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add half of the butter. Allow it to melt and coat the skillet evenly.

Step 3

Pour the whisked eggs into the skillet. Stir gently with a spatula, cooking until the eggs are soft and scrambled. Remove the scrambled eggs from the pan and set aside.

Step 4

Wipe the skillet clean with a paper towel, then place it back on the heat. Add the remaining butter to the skillet and let it melt.

Step 5

Lay one tortilla flat in the skillet. Sprinkle half of the shredded cheese evenly over the surface of the tortilla.

Step 6

Distribute the scrambled eggs and crumbled bacon evenly over the cheese layer. Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top and place the second tortilla over it to form a sandwich.

Step 7

Cook for 2-3 minutes on one side, pressing down gently with a spatula, until the bottom tortilla is golden brown and the cheese starts to melt.

Step 8

Carefully flip the quesadilla using the spatula and cook for another 2-3 minutes on the other side until golden brown and crispy.

Step 9

Remove the quesadilla from the skillet and let it cool for 1 minute before cutting it into wedges.

Step 10

Garnish with chopped chives if desired and serve immediately with salsa on the side if preferred.
