Instructions
1
|
Whisk 2 eggs and salt in a bowl for 30 seconds until combined.
2
|
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).
3
|
Pour in the whisked eggs, tilting the pan to spread it evenly across.
4
|
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.
5
|
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).
6
|
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.
7
|
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.
8
|
Cut into wedges and serve.

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Dry Your Eggs First 🥚Whisk eggs thoroughly and let them rest for 30 seconds before cooking to ensure they cook evenly and create a creamy, consistent texture throughout your quesadilla.
- Pre-Shred and Warm Your Cheese 🧀Shred your Mexican blend cheese fresh and let it sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before assembly so it melts more evenly and creates that perfect gooey texture.
- Toast Your Tortilla First 🔥Lightly toast your tortilla in the pan with oil for 20-30 seconds before adding fillings to create a crispy exterior and prevent sogginess from the egg moisture.
- Use Kosher Salt Strategically 🧂Season your beaten eggs with kosher salt just before cooking rather than in advance, as it can break down the egg proteins and make them watery if added too early.
- Master the Flip Technique 🎯Wait until the bottom tortilla is golden and the cheese on top just begins to melt (about 3-4 minutes) before flipping, then cook the other side for only 1-2 minutes for the perfect balance of crispy and melty.
