Baking Tips

For the perfect runny yolk, cook eggs just until whites are set but yolks still jiggle when the pan is gently shaken

If you prefer a less runny egg, cook them over-medium or scramble them before adding to the quesadilla

Warm your tortillas for 10 seconds in the microwave before assembling to make them more pliable and prevent cracking

Don't overfill the quesadilla - it should close easily and stay sealed while cooking

Use a good quality melting cheese for the best gooey texture - pre-shredded cheese works but freshly grated melts better

For a crispier exterior, brush the outside of the tortilla lightly with butter before placing in the pan

Keep the heat at medium - too high will burn the tortilla before the cheese melts properly

Let the quesadilla rest briefly before cutting to allow the cheese to set slightly

For a spicier version, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes to the eggs while cooking

Save time by using leftover cooked vegetables, meats, or beans as additional fillings

Ingredients

Custard Cream

For the Quesadilla:

4 large eggs

4 flour tortillas (8-inch size)

1 1/2 cups shredded cheese (Mexican blend, cheddar, or Monterey Jack)

2 tablespoons butter, divided

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)

2 green onions, thinly sliced

Optional Fillings:

1/2 avocado, sliced

1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro

2 tablespoons pickled jalapeños, chopped

2 tablespoons crumbled bacon or chorizo

For Serving:

Salsa (red or green)

Sour cream

Hot sauce

Lime wedges

Additional sliced avocado

Equipment:

Non-stick skillet (10-inch recommended)

Spatula

Cheese grater (if using block cheese)

Small bowl for beating eggs

Knife and cutting board for preparing toppings

Instructions

Lay out the tortillas on a clean work surface. Sprinkle about 1/3 cup of shredded cheese evenly over half of each tortilla, leaving a small border around the edge. Set aside.

Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of butter and allow it to melt and coat the pan.

For sunny-side up eggs: Carefully crack two eggs into the skillet, keeping them separate. Season with salt and pepper. Cook until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny, about 2-3 minutes. (If you prefer over-easy eggs, carefully flip for 15-30 seconds before removing.)

Transfer the cooked eggs to the cheese-covered half of a tortilla. Sprinkle with sliced green onions and garlic powder if using. Add any optional fillings as desired.

Fold the empty half of the tortilla over to cover the eggs and cheese, creating a half-moon shape.

Return the skillet to medium heat and add 1/2 tablespoon of butter. When melted, place the filled quesadilla in the pan and cook until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes.

Add the remaining 1/2 tablespoon of butter to the pan, carefully flip the quesadilla, and cook the second side until equally golden and crispy, and the cheese is fully melted, about 2 minutes more.

Transfer to a cutting board and repeat steps 2-7 with remaining ingredients to make the second quesadilla.

Let the quesadillas rest for 1 minute before cutting each into 2-3 wedges with a sharp knife or pizza cutter.

Serve immediately with your choice of salsa, sour cream, hot sauce, lime wedges, and additional avocado on the side.
