Instructions 

  • In a bowl whisk eggs and heavy cream until mixed.

  • Place the other buttered tortilla on top and cook 2-3 minutes then using a metal spatula carefully flip, and cook another 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
  • Cut into fourths using a pizza cutter or chefs knife and serve with Pica de Gallo if desired.

Notes

To freeze: After cooking and assembly. Place quartered quesadillas on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and flash freeze them for 1-2 hours. Then remove them and place them into a freezer bag.

To reheat: When ready to eat, warm in a toaster oven until heated through. Or microwave for 30-45 seconds.
