Try this quick and tasty breakfast quesadilla recipe! Packed with eggs, cheese, and your favorite fillings for a satisfying meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 flour tortillas (or whole wheat tortillas for a healthier option)
- 6 large eggs, scrambled
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or cheese of choice, such as Monterey Jack or a cheese blend)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (for greasing the pan)
- ½ cup cooked bacon or sausage (optional)
- ½ cup diced bell peppers (optional)
- ¼ cup diced onions (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare the Filling: In a bowl, scramble the eggs and season with a pinch of salt and pepper. If you’re using extra fillings like beef, sausage, bell peppers, or onions, cook them in a separate pan and set them aside.
- Heat the Pan: Place a large skillet or griddle on medium heat. Add a tablespoon of olive oil to grease the pan and allow it to heat up.
- Assemble the Quesadilla: Lay one tortilla in the pan and sprinkle with half of the cheese. Add half of the scrambled eggs, followed by any additional fillings like cooked bacon or vegetables. Top with the remaining cheese, then place the second tortilla on top.
- Cook the Quesadilla: Let the quesadilla cook for about 3-4 minutes on one side, or until the bottom is golden brown and crispy. Use a spatula to carefully flip the quesadilla and cook the other side for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the tortilla is crispy.
- Serve: Remove the quesadilla from the pan and let it cool for a minute before slicing it into wedges. Serve immediately with your favorite salsa or sour cream on the side.
