Description

This zucchini breakfast quesadilla recipe is packed with scrambled eggs and Cheddar cheese, tucked in a crispy, warm tortilla in this family-favorite.

Ingredients

1 teaspoon vegetable oil
1 medium zucchini, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
2 medium scallions, thinly sliced
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/8 teaspoon dried oregano
1/8 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
2 large eggs
1 tablespoon water
1/4 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 (6 inch) flour tortillas

Directions

1 Heat oil in a 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add zucchini, scallions, black pepper, oregano, and pepper flakes; cook until vegetables are tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook 2 minutes more.
2 Whisk eggs and water together in a bowl until well combined; stir in Cheddar cheese and salt. Pour into the skillet; increase heat to medium. Cook and stir until eggs are soft-set, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer scrambled egg mixture to a plate; wipe the skillet clean with a paper towel.
3 Spread ¼ egg mixture on half each tortilla; fold in half.
4 Heat clean skillet over medium-high heat; cook quesadillas, 2 at a time, until crisp, about 1 minute per side.
