Ingredients
Method
Step 1 — Prepare the Eggs
- Crack the eggs into a small bowl and whisk until smooth and lightly aerated. Season generously with sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper.
Step 2 — Heat the Pan
- Place a non-stick frying pan over a medium–low heat. Add the butter, if using, and allow it to melt gently until lightly foaming.
Step 3 — Cook the Eggs
- Pour the eggs into the pan, letting them settle into an even layer. Cook gently until the edges begin to set while the centre remains soft and slightly glossy.
Step 4 — Build the Quesadilla
- Scatter over half of the crisp bacon and half of the grated cheddar. Lay the tortilla directly on top and press lightly so everything begins to come together.
Step 5 — Flip & Crisp
- Using a spatula, carefully flip the tortilla so it meets the heat directly. Continue cooking for 2–3 minutes until beautifully golden with lightly crisped edges.
Step 6 — Fill & Fold
- Add the remaining bacon and cheddar to one half of the quesadilla. Fold the tortilla over itself and cook for another minute or two until the cheese melts into the filling and the outside turns deeply golden.
Step 7 — Rest & Serve
- Transfer to a board and leave to rest briefly before slicing. Cut into wedges and serve immediately while crisp on the outside and warm, rich and gloriously cheesy in the centre.
