1. In a medium bowl, beat the eggs with salt and pepper. Melt 2 teaspoons of the butter in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Pour in the eggs, and scramble them, just barely before they are done to your liking, as they will continue to cook in the quesadilla, and scoop them into a plate.
2. Wipe out the skillet, and then heat it again over medium high heat. Melt 1 teaspoon of the butter in the skillet, place one of the flour tortillas in the skillet. Place 1/4 of the scrambled eggs one half of the tortilla, and sprinkle 2 tablespoons of shredded or crumbled cheese over the eggs, sprinkle over any of the suggested toppings. Use a spatula to fold the bare half of the tortilla over the filling, and let cook for 1 to 2 minutes, until the bottom of the quesadilla is golden brown. Flip the quesadilla over and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes, until the other side is golden brown. Slide from the pan onto a plate, cut into thirds. Repeat with the remaining, butter, tortillas, eggs and desired fillings, and serve each one hot.
