Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon heavy cream
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/4 cup cooked bacon or sausage (optional)
  • Chopped green onions or bell peppers (optional)
  • Sour cream or avocado for serving (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Cheese Shell: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Sprinkle half of the shredded cheese in a circular shape to create a thin layer. Cook until melted and golden, about 2-3 minutes. Flip carefully and cook for another minute. Transfer to a plate.
  2. Scramble the Eggs: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, salt, and pepper. In the same skillet, scramble the eggs until fully cooked. If desired, add cooked bacon or sausage and any veggies.
  3. Assemble Quesadilla: Place the scrambled egg mixture onto one half of the cheese shell. Fold the other half over to create a quesadilla shape.
  4. Serve: Enjoy hot with sour cream or avocado on the side. Slice and serve immediately.
