Breakfast Quesadilla with Egg + Smashed Avocado
A delightful breakfast option that combines scrambled eggs with creamy smashed avocado in a crispy tortilla, perfect for busy mornings.
Ingredients
Main ingredients
- 4 large large eggs
- 1 large avocado ripe
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- 4 8-inch flour tortillas
- 1 tablespoon cilantro leaves chopped
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese can be substituted with a vegan option
Instructions
Preparation
- Scramble the eggs: Break them into a bowl, whisk until well combined, and then heat a nonstick pan over medium-low heat. Add the eggs and cook until fully scrambled.
- Prepare the avocado: Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and add lime juice, mashing everything together until creamy.
- Assemble the quesadilla: Brush a non-stick pan with a little oil and heat it lightly. Place one tortilla in the pan and top it with half the scrambled eggs, half the avocado mixture, and half the shredded cheese. Add some chopped cilantro and then place a second tortilla on top.
- Cook the quesadilla: Cook for about 3 minutes until the bottom is golden brown. Carefully flip and cook the other side for an additional 2-3 minutes until it is also golden brown.
- Remove and repeat: Remove from the pan and repeat with the remaining ingredients. Cut each quesadilla into wedges and serve immediately.
Notes
To make your breakfast quesadilla visually appealing, plate it with a side of fresh salsa or a dollop of sour cream. Consider adding mixed greens or a fruit salad. Use a mix of cheeses for a richer flavor or add jalapeños for a spicy kick.
