Ingredients
Scale
- 4 flour tortillas
- 4 eggs
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Monterey Jack)
- 1/2 cup cooked and crumbled bacon or sausage
- 1/4 cup diced bell peppers
- 1/4 cup diced onions
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Cooking spray or oil for the pan
Instructions
- Sauté the veggies: In a skillet, heat a little oil or spray for cooking. Sauté the onions and bell peppers until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
- Scramble the eggs: In a bowl, whisk the eggs with salt and pepper, then pour them into the skillet with the veggies. Scramble together until just cooked, fluffy, and perfectly set.
- Assemble the quesadilla: On one half of each tortilla, layer some scrambled eggs, a generous handful of cheese, and your choice of crumbled bacon or sausage.
- Cook until golden brown: Fold the tortillas over to create a half-moon shape. Cook each quesadilla in the skillet until golden brown and the cheese is melted, about 2-3 minutes on each side.
- Slice and serve: Cut the quesadillas into wedges and serve warm with salsa or avocado slices.
Notes
Make ahead by assembling uncooked quesadillas for quick breakfasts. Experiment with different fillings and cheeses for variety.
