Provided by Alison J.

Categories     Breakfast

Time 20m

Yield 2-3 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 (10 inch) flour tortillas
3 tablespoons chive & onion cream cheese
2 -3 slices bacon
3 tablespoons salsa (optional)

Steps:

  • Cook bacon to desired level of crispiness. Drain and allow to cool slightly.
  • Spread one side of each tortilla with cream cheese.
  • Crumble cooked bacon slices on one tortilla. Top with the other. Press edges to seal.
  • I cook mine in my handy-dandy quesadilla maker until it is golden brown -- but if you don't have one of those, you can use a large nonstick pan on medium heat. Cook, turning once, until golden brown on both sides. This should only take about 1-2 minutes per side.
  • Cut into 6-8 wedges and serve warm, topped with salsa.

If you want to save time,and a step or two just mix in the cooked bacon with the eggs before you scramble them. Heat level of salsa is Chef's choice. Don't be put off the long list of directions, it's easier than it looks. Submitted to "ZAAR" on August 24,2007

Provided by By Betty Crocker Kitchens

Categories     Entree

Time 20m

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Tortillas: Opt for large, soft tortillas that can hold all the fillings without tearing. Corn or flour tortillas both work well.
  • Use Quality Bacon: Thick-cut bacon provides the best flavor and texture. Cook it until it's crispy, but not too hard, to prevent it from crumbling.
  • Blend the Cream Cheese: Soften the cream cheese at room temperature or microwave it for a few seconds to make it smooth and easy to spread.
  • Add Your Favorite Cheese: In addition to cream cheese, consider adding shredded cheddar, mozzarella, or pepper jack cheese for extra flavor.
  • Don't Overstuff the Quesadillas: Be mindful not to overload the tortillas with fillings, as this can make them difficult to fold and seal properly.
  • Cook Quesadillas Over Medium Heat: This allows the cheese to melt evenly without burning the tortillas.
  • Use a Non-Stick Pan: This will prevent the quesadillas from sticking and tearing.
  • Serve Quesadillas with Dipping Sauce: Salsa, guacamole, sour cream, or pico de gallo are all great options for dipping.

Conclusion:

Bacon and cream cheese quesadillas are a quick and easy meal or snack that can be customized to your liking. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a delicious and satisfying dish. Whether you're using leftover bacon or cooking it fresh, these quesadillas are sure to be a hit with the whole family.
