Cook until both sides are deep golden and the cheese is fully melted.
How to make it
- Whisk the eggs.. Crack all 8 eggs into a large bowl. Add the salt and pepper and whisk until the yolks and whites are fully mixed.
- Scramble them soft.. Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in the skillet over medium heat. Pour in the eggs and stir gently with the spatula for 3–4 minutes, until just set but still soft. Slide them onto a plate.
- Build the quesadillas.. Wipe out the skillet. Lay a tortilla flat and cover one half with a quarter of the cheese, a quarter of the ham, a quarter of the eggs and a little more cheese. Fold the empty half over the top.
- Cook until golden.. Melt a little of the remaining butter in the skillet over medium heat. Cook the quesadilla 2–3 minutes per side, until deep golden and the cheese is melted. Repeat with the rest.
- Cut and serve.. Cut each quesadilla into 3 wedges and serve hot with salsa if you like.
How to serve it
Salsa, hot sauce or sour cream on the side. These are great for busy mornings.
