These Breakfast Quesadillas are a quick, satisfying, 5-ingredient morning meal made with chopped boiled eggs, gooey cheese, green onions, and crispy tortillas.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large flour tortillas (10-inch recommended)
  • 4 boiled eggs, peeled and chopped
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (or cheddar)
  • 1/2 cup chopped green onions
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter for frying

Instructions

  1. Place eggs in cold water, bring to a boil, simmer 10 minutes, cool, peel, and chop.
  2. In a bowl, combine chopped eggs, shredded cheese, and green onions.
  3. Spoon one-quarter of the mixture onto half of each tortilla and fold over.
  4. Heat butter in a skillet over medium heat. Cook quesadillas 2–3 minutes per side until golden and crispy.
  5. Cool slightly, slice, and enjoy warm.
  6. Use freshly grated cheese for best melt and flavor.
  7. Do not overfill—helps the quesadilla cook evenly and flip smoothly.
