Breakfast quesadilla with egg and spinach
A delicious breakfast quesadilla with eggs and spinach, made in 25 minutes or less!
Equipment
Ingredients
- 4 large tortillas
- 8-12 eggs (2-3 eggs per tortilla)
- 1 cup of baby spinach
- 1 cup of shredded cheese eg. cheddar, gruyère, emmental, etc.
- 4-6 pieces of smoked ham (optional)
- Pinch of salt and pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder
For the sauce
- 1.5 cups of sour cream
- 2 tablespoons of paprika
- 2 tablespoons of garlic powder
- 2 tablespoon of dried basil
- 1 tablespoon of fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon of juice from freshly squeezed lemon
- pinch of salt and pepper
Instructions
- Place all the ingredients for the sauce in a bowl and mix together.
- In a small bowl, break 3 eggs and mix together along with a pinch of salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
- Place a large pan on low heat.
- Once the pan is warm, pour the egg mixture onto the pan and spread it across so that it cooks evenly for about 5 minutes until it starts to firm up.
- Once the omelette base looks firm on the pan side (but still moist on the top-face side), sprinkle the top of the egg with cheese.
- Place the tortilla flat on top of the cheese and omelette, and press down lightly on each corner for about 2 minutes.
- Turn the stove off, and flip the whole tortilla onto a plate, with the cheese and omelette side facing up.
- Spread some of the sour cream mixture across the omelette.
- Place some of the baby spinach across on one half of the tortilla, and add any optional ingredients like smoked ham, etc.
- Fold the tortilla in half.
- On a stove top on low-medium heat, place the tortilla back in the pan for about 5-7 minutes, flipping every so often.
- Once tortilla looks sufficiently cooked, put it in a place and cut into 4 pieces.
- Repeat for the remaining quesadillas.
- Serve while warm.
