Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 flour tortilla (8" in diameter)
2 large eggs
1 Pinch salt and pepper
1/4 cup shredded cheese ((1 oz) Mexican cheese, medium cheddar or mozzarella)
3 oz breakfast Sausage (2 patties)
2 slices ham ((2 oz) chopped)
2 slices bacon ((2 oz), sliced)

Steps:

  • Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Cook Sausage or Bacon until browned and cooked through then remove to a plate. If using cooked ham, you can heat it up or just add it over the cheese in step 4. Wipe excess oil from skillet if needed. Reduce heat to low.
  • In a measuring cup, add 2 eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper, or add seasoning to taste. Beat with a fork. Add beaten eggs and swirl to spread evenly over the bottom of the pan. Cook over low heat until When eggs are nearly cooked through (if you tilt the pan they shouldn't run).
  • Sprinkle the top with 2 Tbsp shredded cheese then cover with a tortilla. The cheese will make the tortilla stick to the egg. Use a large spatula to get under the egg and quickly flip over.
  • Sprinkle another 2 Tbsp of cheese or add cheese to taste. Sprinkle your cooked protein (sausage, bacon or ham) over half of the surface and fold the tortilla in half. Sautee on both sides until golden brown.* Remove from skillet and use a pizza cutter to cut quesadilla into wedges and serve warm.

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!).

Tips:

  • Choose the right cheese. For the best melting and flavor, use a cheese that melts well, such as cheddar, Monterey Jack, or mozzarella.
  • Don't overcrowd the quesadilla. If you put too much filling in the quesadilla, it will be difficult to fold and cook evenly.
  • Cook the quesadilla over medium heat. This will help to prevent the tortilla from burning.
  • Flip the quesadilla frequently. This will help to ensure that it cooks evenly on both sides.
  • Serve the quesadilla with your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings include salsa, guacamole, sour cream, and pico de gallo.

Breakfast quesadillas are a delicious and easy meal that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are perfect for a quick breakfast on the go or a leisurely weekend brunch. With so many different variations to choose from, there's sure to be a breakfast quesadilla recipe that everyone will love.
