Step 1
Dice the bell pepper and onion into small pieces, roughly 1/4 inch.
Step 2
Crack eggs into a bowl, add salt and pepper, and whisk until yolks and whites are fully combined.
Step 3
Melt 0.5 tbsp butter in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat until foaming.
Step 4
Add pepper and onion; cook, stirring occasionally, until soft, about 3 minutes.
Step 5
Push vegetables to the side. Add remaining butter, then pour in eggs.
Step 6
Stir eggs gently until they just set but still look slightly wet, 2–3 minutes.
Step 7
Remove skillet from heat. Stir vegetables back into eggs.
Step 8
Place one tortilla in the skillet over medium heat. Top with half the egg mixture and half the cheese.
Step 9
Fold tortilla in half. Cook without moving until the bottom is golden and crispy, 2 minutes.
Step 10
Flip carefully and cook the other side until golden, about 1 minute.
Step 11
Slide quesadilla onto a cutting board. Repeat with remaining tortilla, filling, and cheese.
Step 12
Cut each quesadilla into triangles and serve hot.
