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.

Time 30m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 large eggs, divided
3 tablespoons milk, divided
2 teaspoons butter, divided
¼ cup diced green bell pepper
¼ cup diced onion
2 (1/2 inch thick) slices processed cheese (such as Velveeta®), divided
4 (6 inch) flour tortillas

Steps:

  • Beat 2 eggs with 1 1/2 tablespoons milk in a bowl.
  • Melt 1 teaspoon butter in a 6-inch frying pan over medium heat. Add bell pepper and onion and cook until onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Remove 1/2 the mixture and set aside in a bowl.
  • Pour egg mixture and 1/2 vegetable mixture into the skillet. Tilt the pan, gently push one side of the egg, without breaking it, away from the side of the pan, and let the uncooked egg run onto the pan. Repeat with all four sides of the egg, cooking until bottom is set, about 2 minutes. Flip over and cook until bottom is slightly browned, 1 to 2 minutes more.
  • Slide omelet onto a tortilla, then slide tortilla back onto the pan. Place 1 slice of cheese onto the omelet and top with another tortilla. Cook until bottom is browned, about 2 minutes. Flip and brown opposite side, about 1 minute more. Slide quesadilla onto a plate and cut into 4 sections.
  • Beat remaining 2 eggs and 1 1/2 tablespoons milk together in a bowl. Grease the same pan with the second teaspoon of butter. Repeat steps 3-4 with the reserved vegetables and the remaining cheese and tortillas.

Categories     main-dish

Time 55m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 pound thin bacon
Butter, for the pan
1 onion, diced
1 red bell pepper, diced
1 jalapeno, seeded and diced
1/4 cup half-and-half
8 large eggs
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
3/4 cup freshly grated Cheddar
3/4 cup freshly grated Monterey Jack cheese
6 whole-wheat tortillas
Avocado slices, for topping, optional
Sour cream, for serving
Store-bought or homemade pico de gallo or salsa, for serving

Steps:

  • Fry the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crisp. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate and pour off the excess grease.
  • Return the skillet to the stove over high heat. Add a couple tablespoons of butter. When it's melted and the skillet is hot, add the onions, bell peppers and jalapenos. Stir the veggies around and cook until starting to soften and turn golden brown.
  • Meanwhile, mix together the half-and-half, eggs and some salt and pepper in a bowl. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet with the veggies. Scoot the eggs around the skillet with a spatula, cooking slowly, until the eggs are done. Turn off the heat and set aside.
  • To assemble the quesadillas, set a griddle or skillet over medium-low heat and add some butter. Toss together the grated Cheddar and Monterey Jack in a bowl. Put a tortilla on the griddle and add a layer of cheese, a layer of the cooked eggs and veggies, a layer of bacon slices, a layer of avocado if using and another layer of cheese. Top with a second tortilla. Cook on both sides, flipping carefully, until the cheeses are totally melted and the filling is hot. Repeat with the other tortillas and ingredients.
  • Slice the 3 quesadillas into 4 wedges each. Serve on a plate with sour cream and pico de gallo or salsa (or grab them and head out the door!).

2 tablespoons salted butter, divided
½ medium yellow onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, chopped
2 (4 ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, chopped

Categories     Breakfast

Time 10m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 eggs
2 flour tortillas (8 inches)
1/2 cup shredded Fontina cheese
2 bacon, strips cooked and crumbled
1 green onion, thinly sliced
sour cream and salsa (optional)

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, whisk the eggs. Coat a large skillet with cooking spray. Add eggs; cook and stir over medium heat until completely set.
  • Place tortillas on a griddle. Spoon eggs over half of each tortilla; sprinkle with cheese, bacon and onion. Fold over and cook over low heat for 1-2 minutes on each side or until cheese is melted. Serve with sour cream and salsa.

Tips:

  • Choose the right tortillas. Corn or flour tortillas can be used for breakfast quesadillas, but corn tortillas are the more traditional choice. They are also more pliable and less likely to break when folded.
  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. The quality of your ingredients will make a big difference in the taste of your quesadillas. Use fresh eggs, cheese, and vegetables, and avoid processed meats like bacon and sausage.
  • Don't overload your quesadillas. Too many ingredients will make it difficult to fold and cook the quesadillas properly. Stick to a few simple ingredients so that the flavors can shine through.
  • Cook the quesadillas over medium heat. This will help to prevent the tortillas from burning and will allow the cheese to melt evenly.
  • Serve the quesadillas immediately. Quesadillas are best enjoyed hot and fresh out of the pan. Serve them with your favorite toppings, such as sour cream, salsa, or guacamole.

Conclusion:

Breakfast quesadillas are a delicious and easy way to start your day. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a meal that is both satisfying and nutritious. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy breakfast, give breakfast quesadillas a try.
