Variation on a Theme: The Breakfast Quesadilla

Last night's quesadilla was so good that I decided to use up the rest of my carrot tops in exactly the same way today.  The only meal I was going to be eating at home was the first of day, so I decided to throw a little egg into the mix and officially call it breakfast.  You could do this one of two ways: after the veggies are sauteed and tender, add lightly beaten eggs to the pan and scramble the whole mess all together (one of my favorite ways to prepare eggs, whether you're stuffing them into a tortilla or not) or, as I did today, saute the veg as before, pile it onto your quesadilla, top with a little more cheese and then fry up an egg and pile that on top, too.  Add more cheese to hold the whole thing together and return to the pan to melt the cheese and brown the tortilla, as before.

Here is the tortilla just before I added the fried egg.  I threw some chopped tomatoes in today and, you may also notice, I used an entire tortilla as my base.  As I finished my last few bites last night I was left seriously wanting more, so today I decided to use two tortillas and make a much bigger quesadilla.  This not only turned out to be entirely too much food for me, it was also a disaster when it came time to flip the quesadilla in the pan, so I'd recommend going with the original approach.  It's easy enough to simply make an extra if you're feeding someone with a large appetite...
