Breakfast Quesadilla

I made this breakfast quesadilla for my husband, and it turned out so good that I made another one for myself. I made a simple quesadilla filled with extra-sharp cheddar and some of my husband’s favorite hot sauce, then cooked it until golden outside and gooey inside. I served the cheesy quesadilla topped with a steamed egg, avocado slices, green onions, tomatoes, and fresh cilantro. My husband and I both thought this breakfast quesadilla was delicious.
Breakfast Quesadilla
Ingredients:
- 2 small flour tortillas
- Extra-sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- Hot sauce, to taste
- 1 egg
- Sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste
- ¼ avocado, sliced
- Green onion, sliced
- Tomatoes, diced
- Fresh cilantro, leaves
- Salsa

How to Make a Breakfast Quesadilla
Heat a large skillet over medium heat.
Place the cheese evenly on one tortilla, then drizzle with your favorite hot sauce.

Top with the remaining tortilla and place it into the hot skillet. Cook until golden brown, about 3 minutes.
Flip over and cook the other side for 2 minutes or until golden brown. Remove the quesadilla from the skillet and place it on a cutting board.
Cut them into four wedges and put them on a plate.
Once the quesadilla is cooking on the second side, heat a small skillet that is coated with cooking spray over medium heat.
Crack the egg into the pan and season with salt and pepper.
Once the white of the egg is no longer transparent, add a tablespoon of water to the pan and cover with a lid.
Cook for about 1 minute or until the yolk is lightly clouded over. Do not overcook or the yolk will be hard.
Serve the steamed egg on top of the quesadilla, then top with avocado slices, green onion, diced tomato, and fresh cilantro.
Serve immediately. Enjoy.
