- Place the fried eggs on top of the cheese, followed by the slices of avocado. Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the avocado.

- Remove the quesadilla from the skillet, cut it into wedges, and serve hot.
Notes
Serve with salsa or sour cream for dipping, and consider adding fresh cilantro or lime wedges for extra flavor. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
