 Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup grated Cheddar or Cojack cheese, divided
  • 2 eggs, scrambled
  • 4 flour tortillas (6- to 8-inch size)
  • 4 tablespoons salsa, optional

Directions: Remember to Wash Your Hands!

1.Put 2 tablespoons cheese and 1/4 of the scrambled eggs on each tortilla.
2.Heat 2 quesadillas at a time in microwave on high for 30 to 45 seconds or until cheese melts.
3.Top with salsa and fold tortilla in half to serve.


Helpful Hints:

Kids can make these as plain as they like or can add ingredients such as peppers, tomatoes, mushrooms or onions. Quesadillas make a great breakfast or lunch that’s easy and quick. Instead of using a microwave, you can heat the tortillas on a skillet or griddle until the cheese melts.

Safety Tip:

The melted cheese is hot, so wait a minute before eating. Use a knife or pizza wheel to cut the quesadilla into wedges for serving.
