Ingredients for 1 Breakfast Quesadilla:
- 1 flour tortilla, 8” in diameter
- 2 large eggs
- 1 Pinch salt and pepper
- 1/4 cup shredded cheese – your choice (we love extra sharp cheddar)
Optional – add a meat protein!
Sausage, ham or bacon (just a couple of ounces per quesadilla)
Instructions
- 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 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.
Make them ahead to make mornings go more smoothly!
To Freeze – Arrange quesadillas in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and flash freeze for 2 hours. Once they are solid, transfer to a freezer-safe zip bag and store in the freezer.
To Reheat – Place frozen quesadillas into a toaster oven at 350˚F and reheat until warmed through and cheese is melted. We love reheating in an air fryer to re-crisp the outside. If you thaw quesadillas in the refrigerator for a couple of hours or overnight, they will reheat twice as fast.
