✅ Ingredients (Makes 4 Quesadillas)

  • 4 large flour tortillas (use low-carb tortillas if keto-friendly)

  • 2 tbsp milk or cream

  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or a cheese blend)

  • 1 cup diced ham (or substitute cooked bacon/sausage)

📖 Instructions

  1. Scramble the Eggs

    • In a bowl, whisk eggs with milk, salt, and pepper.

    • Lay tortillas flat. Place scrambled eggs on one half of each tortilla.

    • Sprinkle evenly with shredded cheese and diced ham.

    • Fold tortillas in half to form a half-moon shape.

  3. Cook the Quesadillas

    • Heat a clean skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or oil.

    • Cook quesadillas 2–3 minutes per side, pressing gently with a spatula, until tortillas are golden and cheese is melted.

  4. Slice & Serve

    • Remove from skillet, let cool slightly, then cut each quesadilla into wedges.

    • Serve warm with salsa, sour cream, or hot sauce.

🔑 Notes & Tips

  • For extra crispiness, brush tortillas with a little butter before cooking.

  • Add veggies like spinach, peppers, or mushrooms for a heartier quesadilla.

  • Great for meal prep: wrap cooked quesadillas in foil, refrigerate up to 3 days, and reheat in a skillet.
