Zucchini Breakfast Quesadilla

Zucchini Breakfast Quesadilla

This is a perfect breakfast for kids. You can hide chopped zucchini in the scrambled eggs and they gobble them up. Scrambled eggs, zucchini, and cheese, all tucked inside a warm and crispy flour tortilla. Serve with salsa if desired.

Ingredients

  • 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
  • 1 medium zucchini, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
  • 2 medium scallions, thinly sliced
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/8 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/8 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (Optional)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • ¼ cup shredded Cheddar cheese
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 4 (6 inch) flour tortillas

Directions

Step 1
Heat a 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add oil, then add zucchini, scallions, black pepper, oregano, and pepper flakes. Saut? until vegetables are tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 2 more minutes.

Step 2
Meanwhile, crack eggs into a bowl. Add water and whisk until well combined. Stir in Cheddar cheese and salt.

Step 3
Add egg mixture to the skillet and increase the heat to medium. Stir and scramble until eggs are soft-set, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove egg mixture to a plate and wipe the skillet clean with a paper towel.

Step 4
Spread 1/4 of the egg mixture onto half of each tortilla. Fold tortillas in half.

Step 5
Place the clean skillet over medium-high heat. Add tortillas, two at a time, to the hot skillet and cook until crisp, about 1 minute per side.

Cook’s Note:

Feel free to substitute any vegetables or cheese that you like. My husband likes these with mushrooms as well.
