SIMPLE EGG AND CHEESE BREAKFAST QUESADILLAS
This is a recipe that I made up after being disappointed by the Dunkin' Donuts® breakfast quesadilla. These quesadillas are satisfying and filling, and a good way to start your day. I make these the night before for my husband. He re-warms them in the microwave or the toaster oven and they are as good as freshly made. They can also be made in advance and frozen for future breakfasts.

Steps:
- Beat 2 eggs with 1 1/2 tablespoons milk in a bowl.
- Melt 1 teaspoon butter in a 6-inch frying pan over medium heat. Add bell pepper and onion and cook until onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Remove 1/2 the mixture and set aside in a bowl.
- Pour egg mixture and 1/2 vegetable mixture into the skillet. Tilt the pan, gently push one side of the egg, without breaking it, away from the side of the pan, and let the uncooked egg run onto the pan. Repeat with all four sides of the egg, cooking until bottom is set, about 2 minutes. Flip over and cook until bottom is slightly browned, 1 to 2 minutes more.
- Slide omelet onto a tortilla, then slide tortilla back onto the pan. Place 1 slice of cheese onto the omelet and top with another tortilla. Cook until bottom is browned, about 2 minutes. Flip and brown opposite side, about 1 minute more. Slide quesadilla onto a plate and cut into 4 sections.
- Beat remaining 2 eggs and 1 1/2 tablespoons milk together in a bowl. Grease the same pan with the second teaspoon of butter. Repeat steps 3-4 with the reserved vegetables and the remaining cheese and tortillas.

Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients: Quesadillas are best when made with fresh ingredients. This includes using fresh tortillas, cheese, and vegetables.
- Choose the right cheese: The type of cheese you use can make a big difference in the flavor of your quesadilla. For a classic quesadilla, use a Mexican cheese blend or cheddar cheese. For a more unique flavor, try using a different type of cheese, such as goat cheese or blue cheese.
- Don't overload the quesadilla: It is important not to overload the quesadilla with too many ingredients. This will make it difficult to fold and cook properly.
- Cook the quesadilla over medium heat: Cooking the quesadilla over medium heat will help to prevent the cheese from burning.
- Serve the quesadilla immediately: Quesadillas are best served immediately after they are cooked. This will ensure that the cheese is melted and gooey and the tortillas are crispy.
