For a holiday feast, this is the ideal side dish. Roast pork or turkey go well with it. Can be prepared the day before and cooked in a double boiler.

| Total Time: | 25 mins |
| Servings: | 4 |
| Yield: | 4 quesadillas |
Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
- 1 medium zucchini, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
- 2 medium scallions, thinly sliced
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- ⅛ teaspoon dried oregano
- ⅛ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (Optional)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon water
- ¼ cup shredded Cheddar cheese
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 4 (6 inch) flour tortillas
Instructions
- Heat a 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add oil, then add zucchini, scallions, black pepper, oregano, and pepper flakes. Sauté until vegetables are tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 2 more minutes.
- Meanwhile, crack eggs into a bowl. Add water and whisk until well combined. Stir in Cheddar cheese and salt.
- Add egg mixture to the skillet and increase the heat to medium. Stir and scramble until eggs are soft-set, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove egg mixture to a plate and wipe the skillet clean with a paper towel.
- Spread 1/4 of the egg mixture onto half of each tortilla. Fold tortillas in half.
- Place the clean skillet over medium-high heat. Add tortillas, two at a time, to the hot skillet and cook until crisp, about 1 minute per side.
- Feel free to substitute any vegetables or cheese that you like. My husband likes these with mushrooms as well.

While this is definitely a very easy and healthy recipe, I did find it a bit bland. The spices and/or ingredients could be amped up. Maybe some other vegetables such as roasted red peppers or other spices. It was ok. Probably wouldn’t make again as is.
Delicious and easy! I used some frozen shredded zucchini that I had, and cooked that in the pan a bit before adding the scallions. Other than that, followed the recipe as written. I found it made 3 quesadillas for us; splitting it into four would have been a little skimpy on the filling for each one, imo. Great, simple recipe! Thank you for sharing it!
