Ingredients
  

For the Quesadilla

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prep Your Skillet: Begin by heating a non-stick skillet over medium heat for about 1-2 minutes. Add a small pat of butter, approximately one tablespoon, and let it melt completely.
  2. Cook the Eggs: Crack one large egg into the skillet, season lightly with salt and pepper, and cook for about 2-3 minutes until the white is set. Remove and repeat with the second egg.
  3. Assemble the Quesadilla: In the same skillet, place one tortilla down and sprinkle half of the shredded cheese. Lay both fried eggs on top, followed by sliced avocado and remaining cheese, then place the second tortilla on top.
  4. Cook the Quesadilla: Press down with a spatula and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden-brown and crispy.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Transfer to a cutting board, cool slightly, cut into wedges, and serve immediately.
