Ingredients

• 2 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1 flour tortilla (8-inch)
• 0.5 cups shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or a blend)
• 0.5 cups cooked fillings (e.g., diced bell peppers, cooked bacon, ham, or spinach)
• 0.25 cups salsa (for serving, optional)
• 0.25 cups sour cream (for serving, optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Step 2

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the butter. Swirl the pan to coat the surface evenly.

Step 3

Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and let it cook undisturbed for about 1-2 minutes until the edges start to set.

Step 4

Using a spatula, gently lift the edges of the omelet and tilt the pan to allow uncooked egg to flow underneath. Repeat until the omelet is mostly set but still slightly soft on top.

Step 5

Place the tortilla on top of the omelet while it’s still in the pan. Gently press the tortilla down with the spatula to help it adhere to the eggs.

Step 6

Carefully flip the omelet and tortilla together so that the tortilla is now on the bottom. Lower the heat slightly to prevent burning.

Step 7

Sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over half of the omelet, followed by the cooked fillings of your choice.

Step 8

Fold the tortilla in half to form a quesadilla and press gently with the spatula to seal.

Step 9

Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes on each side, or until the tortilla is golden and crispy, and the cheese is melted.

Step 10

Remove the quesadilla from the skillet and let it rest for 1 minute before slicing into wedges.

Step 11

Serve warm with salsa, sour cream, or your favorite accompaniments.
