Steps:
- Scramble eggs with water, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl until well blended. Heat 1 tablespoon butter in a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat. Cook eggs, stirring frequently, until scrambled to desired consistency.
- Spread 1 teaspoon of butter over 1 tortilla and place butter-side down in a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat. Sprinkle 1/3 cup cheese over entire tortilla. Add 1/2 cup scrambled egg and 1/3 cup Smithfield® cubed ham to one side. Cook 3 minutes or until the cheese is melted. Fold the plain cheese side over the filled side and flip the quesadilla. Cook an additional 2 minutes or until golden and toasted. Cut into 2 or 3 pieces.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F.
- Spray 4 of the tortillas with cooking spray (or brush with olive oil). Lay the oiled tortillas on a large cutting board oiled-side down. Brush with the mustard and sprinkle with about half of the cheese. Top each evenly with a thin layer of ham, onions and some pepper, and then finish with the remaining cheese.
- Brush the apple butter evenly on the remaining tortillas. Place one apple-butter tortilla on top of a ham-and-cheese tortilla (filling sides in), and firmly press the tortillas together to make a quesadilla.
- Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Lay a quesadilla oiled-side down in the pan and cook until golden brown and the cheese starts to melt, about 2 minutes. Spray the top of the quesadilla with cooking spray, turn and cook until the other side browns and the cheese is melted, 2 to 3 minutes more. Transfer to a baking sheet and keep warm in the oven. Repeat with the remaining quesadillas.
- Cut the quesadillas into 4 wedges and arrange on plates. Toss the apples with lemon and juice and cinnamon to taste. Serve with the apple slices.
Tips:
- To ensure even cooking, use a large skillet or griddle over medium heat.
- For a crispy quesadilla, use less filling and cook for a longer time.
- If you are using a nonstick skillet, you may not need to add any oil.
- If you are using a regular skillet, add a small amount of oil to prevent the quesadilla from sticking.
- To prevent the cheese from leaking out, use a good quality melting cheese and sprinkle it evenly over the tortilla.
- To make sure the cheese is melted and gooey, cover the skillet while cooking.
- If you are using a flavored tortilla, be sure to choose a flavor that complements the other ingredients.
- For a fun presentation, cut the quesadilla into wedges or triangles before serving.
- Serve the quesadilla with your favorite dipping sauce, such as salsa, guacamole, or sour cream.
