Description
A delightful and customizable breakfast quesadilla filled with cheese, eggs, and your choice of savory toppings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 medium flour tortillas
- 1 cup shredded cheese
- 4 large eggs
- 1/2 cup diced bell peppers
- 1/4 cup diced onions
- 1/2 cup cooked and crumbled chicken bacon or turkey sausage
- 1/4 cup diced tomatoes
- Fresh cilantro or green onions for garnish
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Cooking oil or butter for the skillet
Instructions
- Begin by heating a skillet over medium heat. Add a small amount of cooking oil or butter, ensuring it’s evenly coated.
- Crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk them until fully blended. Season with salt and pepper, then pour into the hot skillet, stirring gently. Cook for about 2-3 minutes until softly scrambled.
- Remove the scrambled eggs from the skillet and set aside. In the same skillet, layer one tortilla and sprinkle half of your cheese over it.
- Add the scrambled eggs on top of the cheese, followed by the diced bell peppers, onions, and chicken bacon. Sprinkle the remaining cheese over everything and place a second tortilla on top.
- Cook the quesadilla for about 2-3 minutes on one side, pressing down gently with a spatula. Flip it after the bottom is golden and cheese starts to melt.
- Transfer the quesadilla to a cutting board and let it sit for a minute before cutting into wedges.
- Garnish with fresh cilantro or green onions before serving. Pair with salsa or avocado.
