Ingredients
  

For the Quesadilla
  • 2 large flour tortillas Choose your preferred size
  • 4 large eggs Fresh eggs for optimal fluffiness
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheese Cheddar or your choice
  • 1/4 cup diced bell peppers Any color of bell pepper is fine
  • 1/4 cup diced onion Yellow or red onion for sweetness
  • 1/4 cup cooked and crumbled halal breakfast sausage or chicken Optional; add for extra protein
  • to taste Salt and pepper Adjust based on your preference

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a mixing bowl, crack the four eggs and whisk them with salt and pepper. Add the diced bell peppers and onions. If using halal breakfast sausage or chicken, mix it in as well.
Cooking the Eggs
  1. Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a touch of oil or spray with cooking spray to prevent sticking. Pour in the egg mixture, and gently scramble until cooked, about 3-4 minutes.
Assembling the Quesadilla
  1. On a plate, take one tortilla, sprinkle some shredded cheese on one half, add the scrambled egg filling on top, and finish with more cheese. Fold the tortilla over to create a half-moon shape.
Cooking the Quesadilla
  1. Return the skillet to medium heat and place the folded quesadilla in the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
Serving
  1. Remove the quesadilla from the skillet, let it cool for a minute, then slice it into wedges. Serve hot with your choice of toppings like salsa, avocado, or sour cream.

Notes

Substitutions can include spinach, mushrooms, or any veggies you prefer. Ensure to avoid overfilling the quesadilla to prevent messiness. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days or frozen for a month.
