Breakfast Quesadilla

Breakfast Quesadilla

When my wife works on a Sunday, she doesn't have to be at the shop as early as usual so we normally have a cooked breakfast together. This is usually along the lines of potato waffles and scrambled egg.

A dilemma greeted me today, however, when I discovered we only had two waffles left- What to do?

I had a think about what I could make in the waffles' absence and couldn't bring myself to go for the obvious cheese omelette option. Of the list of possible carbohydrates available, I decided to use some flour tortillas that Lizzie usually has for her lunches, and here is what I came up with. Simple yet not the most obvious choice:

Breakfast Quesadilla
Serves 1
Preparation time: very little
Cooking time: 10mins

Ingredients:
2 Flour Tortillas
2 Medium Eggs
50g Grated Strong Cheddar Cheese
1 tsp Worcester Sauce
2 tsp Butter

Method:
1. Melt 1 tsp of butter in a small non-stick saucepan.
2. Take two eggs, whisk in a bowl and add to the pan with the Worcester sauce.
3. Stir gently until the mixture is a light yellow fluffy mixture.
4. Melt 1 tsp of butter in a large non-stick frying pan.
5. Place a tortilla in the frying pan and top with the eggs and cheese.
6. Place a second tortilla on top of the mixture and press down.
7. Fry the stack of ingredients until the underside is browned, then flip over and repeat.
8. Serve hot with accompaniments to taste.

Notes:
If I'd had more warning, I would have made up some refried beans and served them alongside my breakfast quesadillas. I'm particularly fond of jalapenos and tomato relish in my omelettes and I reckon these would work well with the quesadillas too.
