    Used golden amba pepper sauce instead of green hot sauce, dipped in toum. Delicious.

    I made 1 quesadilla to eat beside a light soup and really enjoyed it. I scaled the cheese back to 1.5 oz but could have easily gone down to 1. I stirred a tomatillo salsa verde into the eggs & added pickled hot peppers to the pan with the ham. A bit worried about my nonstick pan, I ran an offset spatula under the egg before the tortilla flip & "most" of it lifted (easy to spoon the remaining chunks back in place). An easy & tasty part of dinner for one.

    Pretty good- like SheilaS says, it's better if you reduce the cheese imo. The flipping technique scared me but it was actually really easy and effective.

    Loved this disk so much and will make quesadillas in this manner as often as possible. I was a little nervous that my misshapen egg "round" would negatively affect the whole dish, but every quesadilla was a triumph of flavor!

    I've made this twice. First time, the green sauce I used was too salty and 2 oz sharp cheddar is too much for me. Second time, I made a tomatillo and jalapeño salsa to use as the green sauce and cut the cheese down to an ounce. Much better. Served with guacamole, sour cream and beans.
