Instructions
1
In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs until well combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
2
Coat a large non-stick skillet with cooking spray and set over medium heat. Pour in the whisked eggs and cook, stirring gently, until the eggs are soft and fully set, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat.
3
Heat a griddle or another skillet over medium-low heat. Place the tortillas on the griddle and warm for about 30 seconds on each side to soften.

Spoon half of the scrambled eggs onto one side of each tortilla. Top with the shredded Fontina cheese, crumbled bacon, and sliced green onions.

Carefully fold each tortilla in half to encase the filling. Cook on the griddle for an additional 1-2 minutes on each side, or until the tortillas are golden brown and the cheese is melted.

Remove from the griddle, slice into wedges, and serve hot with a side of sour cream and salsa, if desired.
