BACON AND HASH BROWN "QUESADILLA" WITH EGGS



Bacon and Hash Brown

I have always made my quesadillas by layering the ingredients with tortillas and baking them, rather than pan-frying. I find the resulting quesadilla to be far lighter, crisper, and suitable for overstuffing-such as here, with smoky bacon and crispy shreds of hash brown potatoes. Add a fried egg and a smattering of fresh tomato salsa, and you've got the best Mexican breakfast sandwich.

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 21

2 large russet potatoes (2 pounds), scrubbed
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 tablespoons canola oil, plus more for brushing
2 large Spanish onions, halved and thinly sliced
1 poblano chile, roasted and finely diced
1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons ancho chile powder
13 pound thick-cut bacon, diced
12 (6-inch) flour tortillas
2 12 cups grated Monterey Jack cheese
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 large eggs
Fresh Tomato Salsa, recipe follows
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh chives
2 ripe beefsteak tomatoes or 4 ripe plum tomatoes, diced
12 red onion, halved and thinly sliced
1 jalapeno, finely diced
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
2 tablespoons canola oil
2 teaspoons honey
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh cilantro
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large saute pan over medium heat. Add the onions, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and caramelized, about 30 minutes.
  • Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons oil in a large nonstick saute pan over high heat, add the potatoes, and cook until golden brown. Stir in the onions, poblano, and 1 tablespoon of the ancho powder, season with salt and pepper, and cook until just warmed through, about 2 minutes.
  • Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until browned and crisp, about 8 minutes. Scoop out and transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to drain.
  • Lay out 8 of the tortillas on a work surface. Divide the hash browns, bacon, and cheese among the tortillas. Stack half of the tortillas on top of the remaining topped ones to create 4 double stacks. Top each with one of the remaining 4 tortillas. Brush the tops with a little oil and sprinkle with the remaining 2 teaspoons ancho powder.
  • Transfer the quesadillas to a large baking sheet and bake until golden brown and the cheese has melted, 8 to 10 minutes.
  • When the quesadillas are nearly ready, melt the butter in a large nonstick saute pan over medium heat. Carefully crack the eggs into the pan, season with salt and pepper, and cook until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny, about 2 minutes.
  • Top each quesadilla with a fried egg, some of the tomato salsa, and a sprinkling of chives.
  • Combine all of the ingredients in a bowl and let sit at room temperature for at least 15 minutes before serving.

SIMPLE EGG AND CHEESE BREAKFAST QUESADILLAS



Simple Egg and Cheese Breakfast Quesadillas image

This is a recipe that I made up after being disappointed by the Dunkin' Donuts® breakfast quesadilla. These quesadillas are satisfying and filling, and a good way to start your day. I make these the night before for my husband. He re-warms them in the microwave or the toaster oven and they are as good as freshly made. They can also be made in advance and frozen for future breakfasts.

BACON, EGG AND CHEESE QUESADILLAS



Bacon, Egg and Cheese Quesadillas image

Came up with this when I didn't want a regular breakfast biscuit. Cooking bacon isn't included in cooking time. 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

Tips:

  • Choose the right tortillas: For quesadillas, you want tortillas that are sturdy enough to hold all the fillings without breaking. Corn or flour tortillas can both be used, but corn tortillas are typically a bit more sturdy and have a better flavor.
  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh eggs, cheese, and bacon will make a big difference in the flavor of your quesadillas. If possible, try to use organic or free-range eggs and cheese.
  • Don't overfill the quesadillas: If you put too much filling in the quesadillas, they will be difficult to fold and cook evenly. Aim for a thin layer of fillings so that the quesadillas are easy to fold and cook.
  • Cook the quesadillas over medium heat: This will help to prevent the tortillas from burning and will allow the cheese to melt evenly. Be patient and cook the quesadillas for a few minutes on each side until they are golden brown and crispy.
  • Serve the quesadillas immediately: Quesadillas are best served hot out of the pan. You can top them with your favorite toppings, such as salsa, guacamole, or sour cream.

Conclusion:

Bacon, egg, and cheese quesadillas are a delicious and easy breakfast, lunch, or dinner option. They are perfect for a quick meal on the go or for a leisurely weekend brunch.
