Instructions

Whisk 2 eggs and salt in a bowl for 30 seconds until combined.

Place 1 tsp of oil in a 9 inch pan over medium heat, coating the bottom of the pan (make sure to use a pan that is at least slightly larger than your tortilla).

Pour in the whisked eggs, tilting the pan to spread it evenly across.

Let the omelette cook for 30 seconds then gently use your spatula to go along the edges of the omelette, lifting them away from the pan to loosen.

Sprinkle half the cheese on top of the omelette, place one tortilla on top of the egg and cheese and flip it onto a plate (you can watch how I do this in the video below).

Slide the omelette, tortilla side-down, back into the pan, sprinkle the remaining cheese on top of the egg and place another tortilla on top to cover.

Continue to cook the quesadilla for 1 minute, pressing down lightly with a spatula to help melt the cheese, then flip the quesadilla to cook the other side for an additional 30 seconds or until cheese melts and tortilla is golden.

Cut into wedges and serve.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Dry Your Eggs for Better Texture 🥚
Scramble your eggs and cook them until just slightly underdone, then transfer to a plate—they'll continue cooking when the quesadilla hits the pan, preventing rubbery, overcooked eggs.
Butter Your Tortilla Surface 🧈
Brush the outside of your tortillas with melted butter instead of oil for a superior golden-brown crust that tastes richer and crisps more evenly.
Pre-Shred and Warm Your Cheese 🧀
Use freshly shredded cheese (not pre-packaged) and let it sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before assembling—it melts faster and more uniformly for creamy results.
Medium Heat is Your Sweet Spot 🔥
Cook on medium heat rather than high to give the cheese adequate time to melt completely while the tortilla achieves a crispy exterior without burning.
Toast Before Filling for Structure 🍳
Lightly toast one tortilla in the pan for 30 seconds before adding fillings—this creates a sturdy base that prevents sogginess and helps the quesadilla hold together when flipped.
