THANK YOU for posting this recipe that is so simple yet so good! It made for lots of kitchen fun for me, my husband and our boys. We served them with homemade salsa (see Salsa By Chef #578370 on Food.com) and the flavors mixed really well. <br/><br/>Our modifications: We scrambled the egg mixture in a skillet until fluffy and done, laid the tortillas out on a griddle set to 325 degrees, placed the cooked egg, pre-shredded cheddar cheese and (browned in a skillet first) pre-cooked ham (diced) onto half the tortilla, folded it over and pressed it down with a spatula (to let it get a little crunchy), then flip and repeat. I like most everything spicy, so I added tiny bits of imported green chilies to mine.

Loved this! I've never made a quesadilla in the microwave before, but I definitely will be again haha!! I had it for dinner one night as my partner was out and I couldn't be bothered to cook properly! I just stuck to ham, cheese and egg as I was feeling any vegetables, delicious!

Very fast! I thought it was very good. I put salsa inside and chopped up salami. I have to say, though, that mine could easily have fed two! Oh well, lunch is made! Thanks for sharing, made for Name that Ingredient tag game, 2013

One of my PAC recipes. I don't usually cook in the microwave, but this was an interesting recipe that I had to try. Quick, simple and delicious. I put sliced tomatoes, onions and peppers on mine and loved every bit. I did use 2 eggs because my tortilla was burrito size. Thanks BaybeShell.
