Here's my fun spin on breakfast for dinner—or breakfast! These egg quesadillas are so easy to make, full of protein and plain delicious any time of day. —Barbara Blommer, Woodland Park, Colorado

Health Tip: Butter adds richness to these quesadillas, but it’s not essential. Cook the eggs in a few spritzes of cooking spray and don’t butter the tortillas. You’ll decrease the fat by about one-third.
Test Kitchen tips
  • Brushing the tortillas with butter isn’t essential, but you’ll love the butter flavor.
  • Baking quesadillas in the oven instead of on the stovetop makes it easy to make more than one at a time and, since they don’t need to be flipped, keeps the filling from falling out.
