Cheese, Egg, and Caramelized Onion Quesadilla
Prep time: 20 minutesBake time: 5 minutes
1 tsp butter
1/2 small onion, sliced thin
1 egg and 1 egg white
1/3 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 whole wheat tortilla (fajita size)
In a small skillet, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Add the onion and fry for about 5 minutes, until it begins to brown. Turn the heat down to medium-low and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are nicely browned, about 10 minutes more. Remove the onion to a cutting board and dice it. Beat the egg and egg white together in a bowl and scramble the egg in the skillet over medium heat.
Preheat the oven to 350F. Cut the tortilla in half; on one half, layer 1/2 of the cheese, then the diced onion, scrambled egg, and finish with the other 1/2 of the cheese. Top with the other half. Put the quesadilla on a cookie sheet and bake for 5 minutes, or until cheese is melted. Cut into wedges before serving.
Abby loved this; she called it "pizza," and being a big believer in the power of marketing, I let her think it was pizza. Whatever it takes to get her to try new things!

These were so yummy. Jarett loved them and he won't eat zucchini otherwise. I'll definately make them again.
