Instructions

Prepare Egg Mixture: In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk (if using), salt, and pepper until fully combined and slightly frothy to ensure fluffy scrambled eggs.
Cook Scrambled Eggs: Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and melt the butter or olive oil. Pour in the egg mixture and cook, stirring gently and continuously, until the eggs are softly scrambled and just set. Remove the eggs from the skillet and set aside.
Assemble Quesadilla: Lay the tortilla flat and evenly spread the mashed avocado over one half. Spoon the cooked scrambled eggs on top of the avocado, then sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese and drizzle salsa over the eggs if using.
Fold Tortilla: Carefully fold the tortilla in half to cover the filling, pressing gently to help the quesadilla stick together.
Cook Quesadilla: Return the skillet to medium heat and place the quesadilla in the pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the tortilla is golden brown and the cheese inside has melted completely.
Serve: Remove the quesadilla from the skillet, slice into wedges, garnish with fresh cilantro if desired, and serve immediately for a warm, flavorful breakfast.

Notes

You can substitute the flour tortilla with whole wheat or gluten-free tortillas for dietary preferences.
Adding salsa is optional but adds a nice tangy flavor to balance the creamy avocado.
For a dairy-free version, omit the milk and cheddar cheese or use a plant-based cheese alternative.
Cook scrambled eggs gently to keep them soft and creamy.
If desired, add extra vegetables like diced tomatoes or spinach inside the quesadilla for more nutrients.
