**Step-by-Step Instructions**

1. Begin by heating a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the butter, letting it melt completely, and fill your kitchen with a delightful aroma!
2. Crack the eggs directly into the skillet, seasoning them with salt and pepper. Cook until they reach your desired doneness—about 3-4 minutes for those runny yolks that everyone loves.
3. Gently remove the eggs from the skillet and set them aside on a plate.
4. Place one tortilla back into the skillet, and sprinkle half of the grated cheddar cheese evenly over it.
5. Layer the fried eggs on top of the cheese, spreading them out for balanced bites.
6. Next, add the chopped tomatoes, sliced avocado, and cilantro. Finish with the remaining cheddar cheese.
7. Top everything with the second tortilla, ensuring a lovely filling is enclosed.
8. Cook until the bottom is golden and crispy, then carefully flip it to cook the other side until it achieves that perfect crunchy texture with melted cheese.
9. Remove the quesadilla from the skillet and let it cool slightly before slicing it into wedges.
10. Serve immediately, and enjoy the scrumptious explosion of flavors!

**Serving Suggestions**

Pair your Fried Egg Quesadilla Delight with a dollop of sour cream or a side of salsa for extra flavor. A fresh mixed greens salad with a zesty vinaigrette complements this dish perfectly!

**Pro Tips for Success**

To ensure your quesadilla turns out perfectly crunchy, avoid overcrowding the skillet. If you’re making more than one, work in batches! Additionally, let the quesadilla rest for a minute after cooking for optimal cheese stretchiness when slicing.
