Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter ⅛ stick
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon milk
- ⅛ teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 (10-inch) flour tortilla
- ½ cup freshly shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 trips cooked bacon crumbled
Instructions
- Melt the butter in a sauté pan set over medium heat.
- Whisk together the eggs, milk, and salt.
- Add the egg mixture to your pan and, using a rubber spatula, move the eggs around to prevent them from burning. Cook until the eggs are cooked through and fluffy. Transfer the eggs to a plate.
- Place one tortilla into a large sauté pan set over medium heat.
- Sprinkle half the cheese down onto half the tortilla. Place the eggs over the cheese. Sprinkle the bacon and remaining cheese over the eggs.
- Fold the tortilla in half to cover the eggs. Cook until the bottom has just started to brown.
- Flip the quesadilla over and cook until that side has browned.
- Cut the quesadilla into quarters and serve with some salsa or sour cream.
Notes
- Storage: Store breakfast quesadillas in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 day or in the freezer for up to 1 month.
- For a slightly healthier quesadilla, use egg whites only.
- Feel free to swap the bacon for diced cooked sausage or ham.
- You can add diced vegetables, like onions or peppers.
- Feel free to switch up the cheese for Colby or Monterey jack.
- To make this dairy free, swap the butter for oil, the milk for water or dairy-free milk, and the cheese for vegan cheese!
- For gluten-free quesadillas, use gluten-free tortillas.
- Cook the eggs in plenty of butter or oil to prevent sticking.
- Take care not to overcook the eggs, as they will continue to cook once added to the tortilla.
- Lightly butter or oil the pan before adding the tortilla to help it brown more.
- If serving a crowd, keep finished quesadillas warm on a baking sheet in a 200°F oven.
