Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Eggs

  2. Sprinkle a thin layer of shredded cheese on one half of the tortilla.
  3. Add a layer of scrambled eggs, followed by a slice of ham or diced ham.

  5. Sprinkle another layer of cheese on top, then fold the tortilla in half.

Step 3: Cook the Quesadillas

  1. Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat.
  2. Place the folded quesadilla in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the tortilla is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
  3. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and fillings.

Step 4: Serve and Enjoy

  1. Slice each quesadilla into wedges and serve warm.
  2. Add salsa, sour cream, or avocado slices on the side for a flavourful finish.
