Egg, Tomato & Cheese Skillet Quesadilla

Egg, Tomato & Cheese Skillet Quesadilla (serves 2)

Ingredients

  • 2 medium tomatoes, sliced into thick rounds
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella (or a cheddar blend)
  • 4 eggs, beaten with a pinch of salt and pepper
  • 2 large flour tortillas
  • 1 tbsp butter or oil
  • Optional: dried oregano or chili flakes

Instructions

  1. Heat the butter or oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat.
  2. Arrange the tomato slices in a single layer in the pan.
  3. Sprinkle a little cheese over each tomato slice.
  4. Pour the beaten eggs over and around the tomatoes, filling the gaps.
  5. Place the first tortilla on top while the eggs are still slightly wet, and press down gently.
  6. Cover the tortilla with another layer of cheese, then add the second tortilla and press again.
  7. Cook 2 to 3 minutes until the bottom is set and golden.
  8. Slide a spatula underneath and flip the whole thing carefully. Cook another 2 to 3 minutes until both sides are golden and the cheese is melted.
  9. Transfer to a cutting board, rest for 1 minute, and cut into wedges.

Tip: Pat the tomato slices dry with a paper towel so the quesadilla stays crisp instead of turning soggy.
