Ingredients
Scale
- 1 8-inch flour tortilla
- 2 slices cooked and chopped beef bacon
- 2 large eggs
- 1/3 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 teaspoon butter (optional)
Instructions
- Begin by cracking the eggs into a small bowl. Season them with salt and pepper to taste, whisking until the mixture is well combined and slightly frothy.
- Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium-low heat. If you choose to use butter, add it to the pan now, allowing it to melt and coat the bottom.
- Pour the egg mixture into the heated pan. Cook the eggs gently, stirring occasionally until the edges begin to set and the center is still slightly runny, about 2-3 minutes.
- Once the eggs are nearly cooked, sprinkle half of the chopped beef bacon and half of the shredded cheese over the top. Place the flour tortilla on top of the egg mixture, pressing it down gently.
- Using a spatula, carefully flip the quesadilla over, cooking for another 2-3 minutes until the bottom is golden brown and crispy.
- Now, sprinkle the remaining beef bacon and cheese over one half of the quesadilla. Fold the tortilla in half, covering the filling. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and the quesadilla is crispy on both sides.
- Transfer the quesadilla to a cutting board. Allow it to rest for a minute before slicing it into wedges.
