SIMPLE EGG AND CHEESE BREAKFAST QUESADILLAS
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.

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.

EASY SAUSAGE EGG & CHEESE BREAKFAST QUESADILLA
This is a fairly easy and tasty recipe. To save time I cook the breakfast sausage in advance and freeze 1/2 cup portions in small baggies and just take one out the night before making. Feel free to add or omit anything you like but keep in mind the more items inside the heavier it is and not as easy to flip in the frying pan. I like it just the way it is but you might like to serve with hot sauce or salsa. Cook & prep times are approximate. Hope you enjoy!

BACON, EGG AND CHEESE QUESADILLAS
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

Steps:
- Scramble eggs until desired doneness is reached.

Tips:
- Choose high-quality ingredients. Fresh, good-quality ingredients will make a big difference in the taste of your quesadilla. Use fresh tortillas, shredded cheese, and eggs. You can also add your favorite fillings, such as cooked chicken, beef, or vegetables.
- Use a well-seasoned skillet. A well-seasoned skillet will help to prevent the quesadilla from sticking and will give it a nice, even cook.
- Cook the quesadilla over medium heat. This will help to prevent the quesadilla from burning and will give the eggs time to cook all the way through.
- Fold the quesadilla in half before cooking. This will help to keep the fillings inside and will make it easier to flip.
- Serve the quesadilla with your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings include salsa, guacamole, sour cream, and pico de gallo.

Cheesy egg quesadillas are a quick, easy, and delicious meal that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They are also a great way to use up leftover ingredients. With a few simple tips, you can make a cheesy egg quesadilla that is perfect for any occasion.
