Too Easy: Scrambled Egg Quesadillas
It’s that time again…
…Where I share some stupid easy food with you and try to pretend that it needs a recipe 😀
This one is kinda weird at first glance. I put scrambled eggs inside of a quesadilla. But wait! Think about it for a second…breakfast burritos are a thing, so shouldn’t breakfast quesadillas also be a thing? The answer is yes, because good gravy these are effing tasty!
I made my scrambled eggs super creamy and cheesy with a wedge of Laughing Cow cheese. I swear they are not paying me to create this recipe (but maybe they should… what up Laughing Cow?), I just am obsessed with the stuff. I used the Spicy Pepperjack flavor, because ya know, we’re going with a bit of a Tex-Mex theme here.
Then, I took those cheesy amazing eggs, and added MORE cheese—sharp cheddar—and sandwiched them in a flour tortilla that I got all crisp and golden with some butter in a pan.
I topped mine with sriracha, because we all know I have a bit of a sriracha problem, but salsa would be fantastic.
You guys. YOU GUYS…why have I not made scrambled egg quesadillas sooner? Think of the possibilities of stuff you could shove inside!
- mixed veggies
- herbs
- meats
And then, what if you served them with guacamole?? Yes. I will make this happen. I need all the scrambled egg quesadillas, all the time.
PrintScrambled Egg Quesadillas
Yield: 1-2 servings
Ingredients:
- 1 tbsp butter
- 3 large eggs
- salt and pepper
- 1 Laughing Cow cheese wedge (I used the spicy pepper jack flavor)/or 1 tbsp cream cheese or other soft cheese
- 1 large flour tortilla
- 1 oz. sharp cheddar cheese
Directions:
- In a skillet over medium heat, melt 1/2 tbsp butter. Beat the eggs together in a bowl and then pour them into the hot skillet. Scramble the eggs. When they are still quite runny, add in the laughing Cow or other soft cheese, salt, and pepper. Remove the eggs (still a bit runny) to a plate and set aside.
- Wipe out your pan, and melt the remaining 1/2 tbsp of butter in over medium-hight heat. Lay the tortilla into the pan, and scoop the scrambled eggs onto half of it. Sprinkle the cheddar over the top and fold the tortilla up. Allow to cook for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until the tortilla in golden brown, and the cheddar has melted.
- Cut into 4 wedges, and serve with desired accompaniments (sriracha, salsa, guacamole, etc.).
