Description
Delicious and easy egg quesadillas using hard boiled eggs and low-carb tortillas.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 hard boiled eggs
- 4 Mission Carb Balance Tortillas or La Banderita low-carb tortillas
- 1 T butter for spreading on tortillas
- 2 tsp. Dijon mustard
- 3 T mayo
- 2 T finely chopped green onion
- 1/2 tsp. Spike Seasoning
- salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste
- 3/4 cup finely grated cheese, divided
Instructions
- Follow instructions for making perfect hard-boiled eggs. Let eggs cool enough to handle, then peel and cut into pieces about 1/2 inch and put in a bowl.
- Mix the Dijon and mayo, slice green onions, and measure 3/4 cup grated cheese.
- Then mix the mayo mixture, green onions, 1/4 cup grated cheese, and Spike Seasoning into the eggs and season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Spread butter or spray olive oil on bottom side of two tortillas.
- Put one tortilla into a non-stick pan and turn heat to medium.
- Sprinkle tortilla with 2 T of the cheese, then spread egg salad mixture over the cheese not going clear to the edge of the tortilla so it doesn’t fall out while quesadillas are cooking.
- Top egg mixture with 2 T more grated cheese, then put a second tortilla that’s spread on top with butter or sprayed with oil over the cheese.
- Cook quesadillas about 5 minutes per side, or until cheese is melted and they are slightly browned.
- Cut quesadillas in half and serve hot, with salsa and sour cream on the side if desired.
- Half of one of these egg quesadillas might be a full serving for some people.
Notes
- Using Spike Seasoning enhances the flavor; feel free to adjust spices to your taste.
