Recipe Summary

• Prep Time: 15 minutes
• Cook Time: 10 minutes
• Total Time: 25 minutes
• Servings: 4
• Skill Level: Easy

Ingredients

• 4 large flour tortillas
• 6 large eggs
• 1/2 cup of diced bell peppers (red, green, or yellow)
• 1/2 cup of diced onions
• 1/2 cup of fresh spinach, roughly chopped
• 1 cup of shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or a mix)
• 2 tablespoons of milk
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 2 tablespoons of olive oil
• Butter for cooking
• Fresh salsa for serving
• Fresh herbs (like cilantro or parsley) for garnish

Instructions

1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until fully beaten.
2. Heat one tablespoon of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the diced bell peppers and onions, sautéing until softened, about 5 minutes.
3. Add the spinach to the skillet, cooking until wilted, about 1-2 minutes. Remove veggies from the skillet and set aside.
4. Add another tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet, reduce heat to low, and pour in the egg mixture. Scramble the eggs by gently stirring occasionally until they are fully cooked. Remove from heat and set aside.
5. In the same skillet, melt a pat of butter over medium heat. Place one tortilla flat in the skillet and sprinkle 1/4 cup of shredded cheese evenly over half of the tortilla.
6. Layer on a quarter of the scrambled eggs and the sautéed veggies over the cheese. Sprinkle another 1/4 cup of cheese on top.
7. Fold the tortilla in half to cover the filling. Cook until the bottom is golden brown, about 2-3 minutes.
8. Carefully flip the quesadilla and cook until the other side is golden brown and the cheese is melted, another 2-3 minutes.
9. Remove from the skillet and cut into wedges. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and fillings.
10. Serve the quesadillas warm with fresh salsa and a sprinkle of fresh herbs for garnish.

Helpful Tips

• Make-Ahead: Prepare the veggie mix and scramble the eggs the night before to save time in the morning.
• Add Some Protein: Add diced halal chicken sausage or turkey strips for added protein.
• Cheese Choices: Experiment with different cheeses like Monterey Jack or pepper jack for a twist.

Storage Instructions and Ingredient Substitutions

You can store any leftover quesadillas in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet over medium heat until warmed through.

Substitute tortillas with whole wheat or gluten-free versions if preferred. Use any favorite veggies or cheese combinations to make this recipe uniquely yours!
