Easy Breakfast Quesadillas
Description
Easy Breakfast Quesadillas bring together fluffy scrambled eggs seasoned with salt and black pepper, layered with crumbled cooked bacon or sausage and shredded cheese inside soft flour tortillas. The layering and cooking on a skillet allows the cheese to melt evenly while the tortillas brown slightly, creating a pleasant texture contrast of crisp edges and tender filling. Cutting into quarters makes it convenient to serve for breakfast or a quick brunch.
The quesadillas deliver a balanced savory flavor from the meat and melted cheese, complemented by the mild richness of the eggs. Serving them with salsa and sour cream adds a bright, tangy counterpoint that enhances the overall taste. This recipe supports flexibility by allowing different breakfast meats or cheese types depending on preference.
It’s practical for a morning meal when you want something hearty but easily prepared. The melting cheese holds the filling intact to keep the quesadilla tidy to eat, and the use of flour tortillas adds pliability. This makes it easy to enjoy on the go or at a breakfast table without mess.
Ingredients
- 2 egg beaten
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- 2 flour tortillas
- 2 lices Bacon crumbled (and/or cooked, crumbled sausage)
- 1/2 cup Mexican blend cheese shredded, divided, or Monterey Jack cheese
- salsa to taste
- 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
- Use crumbled cooked bacon, breakfast sausage, or diced ham as desired for the filling.
- Hand-shredded cheese melts better and helps keep the quesadilla filling together when eating.
- Serve with salsa, sour cream, and/or guacamole to complement the quesadilla.
