Ham, Egg, and Cheese Breakfast Quesadillas
Description
This recipe begins by cooking garlic, ham, and broccoli until the broccoli is tender and the ham warm. Lightly beaten eggs are added and scrambled gently until firm, with green onions stirred in for fresh flavor. The egg mixture is then layered onto whole wheat tortillas sprinkled with reduced-fat cheddar cheese, folded, and baked to melt the cheese while keeping the tortillas crisp.
The result is a handheld breakfast option with moist, flavorful eggs and ham balanced by the mild, slightly sweet broccoli and melted cheese. The side of raspberries, blueberries, and peeled tangerines provides a fresh, fruity contrast both in texture and taste.
These quesadillas can be prepared ahead and stored refrigerated for up to three days, reheating conveniently in the microwave in short intervals until warm. This enables easy meal prep for busy mornings.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 cup ham diced
- 1 cup broccoli chopped florets
- 4 egg lightly beaten, large
- salt to taste, Kosher salt and freshly ground
- black pepper to taste, Kosher salt and freshly ground
- 2 green onions thinly sliced
- 4 whole wheat tortilla 4-inch
- ½ cup cheddar cheese shredded, reduced fat
- ½ cup raspberry
- ½ cup blueberries
- 4 tangerines peeled and segmented
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add garlic, and cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in ham and broccoli until broccoli is tender and bright green, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add eggs to the skillet and cook, stirring gently using a silicone or heat-proof spatula, until they just begin to set; season with salt and pepper, to taste. Continue cooking until thickened and no visible liquid egg remains, about 3-5 minutes. Stir in green onions.
- Layer half of each tortilla with the egg mixture; sprinkle with cheese. Fold in half and place onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Place into oven and bake until the cheese has melted, about 5-6 minutes.
- Place quesadillas, raspberries, blueberries and tangerines into meal prep containers.*
Notes
- Refrigerate cooked quesadillas for up to three days to maintain freshness.
- Reheat in the microwave in 30-second intervals to avoid overcooking.
- Serving with fresh berries and peeled tangerines adds a refreshing balance to the warm quesadillas.
