Description

Start your day with this comforting breakfast quesadilla, a delightful and fulfilling option that caters to your cravings. Imagine a perfectly crisp cheese tortilla, its golden surface offering a satisfying crunch with every bite. Atop this crispy foundation rests a beautifully fried egg, its yolk cooked to your preference – either a molten, runny center ready to burst, or a firm, sunny orb.

Silky avocado slices fan across the egg, adding a creamy richness that complements the savory cheese. Alongside the quesadilla, discover a vibrant medley of chopped vegetables, each piece generously seasoned and lightly buttered. The vegetables are cooked until tender and slightly caramelized, bringing out their natural sweetness and earthy undertones.

Fresh arugula adds a peppery counterpoint, its delicate leaves providing a refreshing contrast to the richer elements of the dish. Enjoy each slice of the quesadilla on its own, savoring the interplay of textures and flavors. Or, create delightful breakfast bites by scooping the avocado, vegetables, and arugula into the cheesy embrace of the quesadilla.

The possibilities are endless – a symphony of tastes in every mouthful. This recipe is also perfect for those who love to plan ahead. Prepare the quesadilla and vegetables in advance and store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to five days.

When you're ready to enjoy, simply reheat in a microwave or skillet. Elevate your avocado by mashing it into a quick guacamole with a drizzle of olive oil, chopped cilantro, and a splash of lime juice. The bright, zesty flavors will enhance the dish and add another layer of complexity.

For other topping options, consider a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt. A dash of your favorite hot sauce will bring some heat to the equation.

Instructions

    1.
    Spread ".5 cup" of shredded cheddar cheese in a thin, even layer in a 6-8 inch non-stick pan. Ensure there are no gaps in the cheese layer. Heat the pan over high heat and let the cheese melt, bubble, and the edges begin to harden without disturbing it. Use a spatula to gently reshape the outer edge if needed.
    2.
    Crack an egg in the center of the melted cheese. Sprinkle salt, pepper, and chili powder over the egg. Reduce the heat to medium and let the egg white cook. Break the yolk if you prefer a fried egg. Refer to the introduction for additional cooking tips.
    3.
    Once the egg is mostly cooked, use a spatula to carefully flip the quesadilla to finish cooking. The cheese should release easily from the pan. Reduce the heat to low and cook the egg to your liking. Transfer the quesadilla to a serving plate to cool and cut it into 4 triangles. Add chopped zucchini and cremini mushrooms to a mixing bowl.
    4.
    Drizzle olive oil over the chopped vegetables and season with seasoned salt, pepper, paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, cumin, and red pepper. Toss the ingredients. Heat a separate pan over high heat, add the seasoned vegetables, and cook until charred and tender, about 5 minutes. Reduce the heat to low, melt butter in the pan, and toss the vegetables with the butter until coated.
    5.
    Add fresh arugula to your serving plate. Spoon the hot, buttered vegetables onto the arugula so they wilt the greens. Alternatively, stir the arugula directly into the hot vegetables. Slice fresh avocado into thin pieces and arrange them over the sliced quesadilla. Serve with hot sauce, lemon or lime juice, chopped cilantro, or sour cream, as desired.
