For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the egg mixture or a dash of hot sauce to the quesadilla after cooking. Feel free to substitute the cheese with your favorite variety, such as cheddar, Monterey Jack, or pepper jack. To make these ahead, wrap the cooked quesadillas individually in plastic wrap and store them in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or freeze them for up to 1 month. Reheat in the microwave, toaster oven, or skillet.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
1 mins
Whisk together 2 eggs and 1 1/2 tablespoons of milk in a bowl until well combined. (Prep time: 1 minute)
02
Step
5 mins
Melt 1 teaspoon of butter in a 6-inch skillet over medium heat. Add diced green bell pepper and onion and sauté until the onion becomes translucent and slightly softened. Remove half of the cooked vegetable mixture and set aside in a separate bowl. (Cook time: 5 minutes)
03
Step
4 mins
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet with the remaining vegetables. Cook the omelet by gently pushing cooked egg from the edges towards the center, allowing uncooked egg to flow underneath. Continue until the bottom is set but the top is still slightly moist. Flip the omelet and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until lightly browned. (Cook time: 3-4 minutes)
04
Step
3 mins
Carefully slide the omelet onto one tortilla. Return the tortilla with the omelet to the skillet. Place one slice of cheese on top of the omelet, then top with another tortilla. Cook until the bottom tortilla is golden brown and crisp, about 2 minutes. Flip the quesadilla and cook the other side for about 1 minute until golden brown and the cheese is melted. (Cook time: 3 minutes)
05
Step
1 mins
Slide the quesadilla onto a plate and cut it into 4 wedges.
06
Step
5 mins
Repeat steps 1-5 with the remaining 2 eggs, 1 1/2 tablespoons milk, remaining vegetable mixture, cheese slice, and tortillas.
