Description

A quick and delicious Fried Egg Quesadilla recipe featuring crispy flour tortillas filled with melted cheese and perfectly fried eggs. This easy-to-make dish is great for breakfast, lunch, or a light dinner and can be customized with avocado slices, salsa, sour cream, and fresh herbs for added flavor.

Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 flour tortillas
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella)
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Optional Toppings

  • Sliced avocado
  • Salsa
  • Sour cream
  • Fresh herbs (such as cilantro or parsley)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Skillet: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and melt a small amount of butter. This will prevent sticking and add flavor to the eggs and tortillas.
  2. Fry the Eggs: Crack an egg into the skillet, season with salt and pepper, and cook until the egg white is fully set but the yolk remains slightly runny. Carefully remove the egg from the skillet and repeat this process with the second egg.
  3. Assemble the Quesadilla: Place one tortilla in the skillet and evenly sprinkle half of the shredded cheese over it. Add the fried eggs on top, and if desired, layer on sliced avocado or any other optional toppings.
  4. Top and Cook the Quesadilla: Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the eggs and cover with the second tortilla. Cook for 2-3 minutes on one side until golden brown and the cheese begins to melt, then carefully flip the quesadilla and cook another 2-3 minutes until the other side is also golden and crispy.
  5. Serve & Enjoy: Remove the quesadilla from the skillet, slice into wedges, and serve warm with salsa, sour cream, and fresh herbs for added taste and presentation.

Notes

  • For a fully cooked yolk, flip the eggs and cook longer before assembling the quesadilla.
  • Use a spatula carefully while flipping to maintain the quesadilla’s shape.
  • Customize with additional fillings like cooked bacon, sautéed peppers, or onions if desired.
  • Use whole wheat tortillas for a healthier option.
  • Serve immediately for the best crispy texture.
