Ingredients
- 3 whole large eggs
- 1 whole flour tortilla (8-inch)
- 1 tbsp butter
- ¼ cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 pinch salt and black pepper
- 1 tbsp fresh cilantro or chives, chopped (optional)
Instructions
- 1
Crack eggs into a bowl, add salt, pepper, and half the cheese. Whisk until fully combined.
- 2
Heat butter in a 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat until foaming, ~45 seconds.
- 3
Place tortilla flat in the skillet. Pour egg mixture directly onto the tortilla.
- 4
Let cook undisturbed for 45 seconds until egg begins to set at the edges.
- 5
Gently push cooked egg toward center, tilting pan so uncooked egg flows to edges. Repeat 2–3 times.
- 6
When top is still slightly wet but bottom tortilla is golden and crispy, sprinkle remaining cheese on top.
- 7
Fold tortilla in half over the egg. Slide onto a plate. Top with cilantro if desired.
