Ingredients
  

  • 4 large eggs
  • 3 tablespoons milk
  • 2 teaspoons butter
  • ¼ cup diced green bell pepper
  • ¼ cup diced onion
  • 4 6-inch flour tortillas
  • 2 slices processed cheese halved between quesadillas

Instructions
 

  • In a bowl, whisk together 2 eggs and 1½ tablespoons milk until smooth.
  • Melt 1 teaspoon butter in a 6-inch skillet over medium heat.
  • Add the diced bell pepper and onion. Cook for about 5 minutes or until the onion becomes translucent.
  • Remove half of the vegetable mixture and set it aside for the second quesadilla.
  • Pour the egg mixture into the skillet with the remaining vegetables.
  • As the eggs begin to cook, gently lift the cooked edges and tilt the pan so uncooked egg flows underneath. Continue until the eggs are mostly set.
  • Cook for about 2 minutes, then carefully flip the omelet and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes until lightly golden.
  • Slide the omelet onto one tortilla.
  • Place the tortilla back into the skillet, top the omelet with one cheese slice, and cover with a second tortilla.
  • Cook until the bottom tortilla is golden brown, about 2 minutes.
  • Carefully flip and cook the other side for about 1 minute.
  • Transfer to a cutting board and slice into quarters.
  • Repeat the process with the remaining eggs, milk, vegetables, cheese, butter, and tortillas to make the second Egg and Cheese Breakfast Quesadillas batch.
  • Serve warm and enjoy.

Notes

  • Processed cheese creates a classic creamy texture, but any melting cheese works well.
  • Serve with salsa, avocado, sour cream, or fresh fruit.
  • For a spicy version, add diced jalapeños or a pinch of chili flakes.
  • This recipe can easily be doubled for larger families.
