✅ Ingredients (Makes 4 Quesadillas)
4 large flour tortillas (use low-carb tortillas if keto-friendly)
6 large eggs
2 tbsp milk or cream
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or a cheese blend)
1 cup diced ham (or substitute cooked bacon/sausage)
Salt & pepper, to taste
Butter or oil, for cooking
📖 Instructions
Scramble the Eggs
In a bowl, whisk eggs with milk, salt, and pepper.
Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and scramble eggs until just cooked but still soft. Set aside.
Assemble the Quesadillas
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.
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.
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.
