Easy Breakfast Quesadillas
My family LOVES breakfast quesadillas. Much like a breakfast burrito, they are filled with egg, cheese and your favorite breakfast meat.
Servings: 2
Calories: 245kcal
Ingredients
- 2 eggs beaten
- salt and pepper to taste
- 2 flour tortillas
- 2 slices bacon crumbled (and/or cooked, crumbled sausage)
- 1/2 cup Mexican blend or Monterey Jack cheese shredded, divided
- salsa and sour cream to taste
Instructions
- In a large skillet, scramble the eggs (add salt and pepper to taste).
- Spray skillet or griddle with cooking spray and heat over medium-high heat. Place one tortilla on the skillet or griddle and heat on one side.
- When tortilla is hot, flip and add half of the cheese.
- Add scrambled egg and distribute evenly.
- Add bacon over the top.
- Sprinkle on remaining cheese and top with remaining tortilla. Cook for about 1 minute or until cheese starts to melt, then CAREFULLY flip (you don't want all the egg falling out).
- When the cheese is melted and the tortilla is golden brown, remove from pan. Cut into quarters with a pizza cutter and serve with sour cream and/or salsa.

Notes
Recipe tips
- Bacon, breakfast sausage, and diced ham all work great in this recipe.
- Hand shredded cheese from a block melts better and keeps the ingredients within the quesadilla when eating.
- Serve with salsa, sour cream, and/or guacamole.
