Step 1
Crack eggs into a bowl. Whisk with salt and pepper until yolks and whites blend completely.
Step 2
Heat 0.5 tbsp butter in a 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium-low until foaming, ~60 seconds.
Step 3
Pour eggs into the skillet. Stir every 15 seconds until just set but still moist, ~3 minutes total.
Step 4
Transfer scrambled eggs to a plate. Wipe out the skillet with a paper towel.
Step 5
Place one tortilla in the dry skillet over medium heat. Sprinkle half the cheese evenly across.
Step 6
Spoon half the scrambled eggs over the cheese. Top with another tortilla, pressing gently.
Step 7
Cook 2 minutes until the bottom is light golden, then flip using a wide spatula. Cook 2 more minutes.
Step 8
Slide onto a plate. Repeat steps 5–7 with remaining tortillas, cheese, eggs, and 0.5 tbsp butter.
Step 9
Cut both quesadillas in half. Serve warm with salsa or sour cream if desired.
