Easy Breakfast Quesadillas

My family LOVES breakfast quesadillas. Much like a breakfast burrito, they are filled with egg, cheese and your favorite breakfast meat.

Ingredients

  • 2 eggs beaten
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 flour tortillas
  • 2 lices 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

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a large skillet, scramble the eggs (add salt and pepper to taste).
  2. 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.
  3. When tortilla is hot, flip and add half of the cheese.
  4. Add scrambled egg and distribute evenly.
  5. Add bacon over the top.
  6. 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).
  7. 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

  • 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.
