Cheesy Breakfast Quesadilla

Step 1

In a bowl, whisk the eggs with a pinch of salt.

Step 2

Thinly slice the scallions.

Step 3

Melt a dab of butter in a nonstick frying pan over medium heat. Add half the scallions & cook for 1-2 min, then add the eggs. Cook, stirring often, until the eggs are scrambled, about 2-3 min. Remove from the heat.

Step 4

Spread the refried pinto beans over half the tortilla, then place in a separate large frying pan, bean side up. Warm over medium heat, 1-2 min.

Step 5

When the tortilla is warm, sprinkle the bean side with half the shredded cheese. Layer the scrambled eggs on top, then sprinkle with the remaining shredded cheese.

Step 6

Close the quesadilla by pressing the empty side over the toppings. Cook for 1-2 min, then flip & cook for another 1-2 min, until the quesadilla is golden & crispy, with melty cheese.

Step 7

Remove from the heat & transfer the quesadilla to a cutting board. Slice into triangles, then garnish with the remaining scallions & a sprig of fresh cilantro (optional). Serve with pico de gallo (optional). Enjoy!
