Ingredients
- ½ pound bacon, or sausage
- 6 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons whole milk

Instructions
- Over medium-high heat, cook the bacon in a large skillet until just crispy. Remove the bacon from the pan and set it on a plate of paper towels to cool. Reserve about ¼ cup of bacon fat and discard the rest. Once the bacon has cooled, chop or crumble it into little pieces.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and seasonings. Heat your bacon fat in the skillet over medium heat and scramble your eggs. Remove the cooked eggs from the skillet and set aside.
- Lower the heat to medium-low and add a tortilla to the skillet. Spread ¼ cup of cheese onto the tortilla, about 1/4 cup scrambled eggs on top of the cheese, and 2 tablespoons of cooked and crumbled bacon. Spread an addiitonal ¼ cup of cheese over the bacon and eggs and place a tortilla on top.
- Cook the assembled quesadilla on one side for about 3-4 minutes covered to trap the heat in and melt the cheese. Flip and cook on the other side for another 3 minutes, covered.
- Remove quesadilla from skillet, allow it to cool a few minutes then cut and serve with salsa, sour cream, avocado, and salt and pepper to taste.
