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.
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.
