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.

CHEESY BREAKFAST QUESADILLA WITH FRESH SALSA



Cheesy Breakfast Quesadilla with Fresh Salsa image

Categories     Breakfast

Yield makes 1 serving

Number Of Ingredients 5

Olive oil spray
4 large egg whites
1 (about 8-inch-diameter) reduced-fat, whole-wheat flour tortilla
1 ounce (1/3 cup) finely shredded light Swiss cheese
1/4 cup drained fresh salsa (refrigerated, not jarred, if possible)

Steps:

  • Microwave Instructions
  • Lightly mist a small microwave-safe bowl with spray. Add the egg whites and microwave for 30 seconds on low. Continue microwaving them in 30-second intervals until they are just barely runny on top. Then using a fork, stir them to break into large "scrambled" pieces. By the time you "scramble" and stir them, the residual heat should have cooked away the runniness. If they are still undercooked, cook them in 10-second intervals until just done.
  • Place a nonstick frying pan large enough for the tortilla to lie flat over medium-high heat. Add the tortilla (no need to add any fat). Sprinkle half the cheese over half of the tortilla. Spoon the egg evenly over that, followed by the remaining cheese. Fold the bare half over the filled half. Cook until the cheese begins to melt and the tortilla is lightly browned in spots, about 2 minutes. Carefully flip it and cook until the cheese is completely melted, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer the quesadilla to a serving plate and top with salsa. Cut into 4 wedges and serve immediately.
  • Stovetop Instructions
  • Follow the directions above, but instead of microwaving the egg whites, simply scramble them in a nonstick skillet lightly misted with spray over medium heat.
