Breakfast quesadillas are a quick, cheesy, and protein-packed way to start your day, filled with eggs, cheese, and optional meats or veggies, all folded into a crispy tortilla.

Ingredients

  • 2 large flour tortillas
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or blend)
  • 1/4 cup cooked breakfast meat (bacon, sausage, or ham – optional)
  • 1 tablespoon butter or oil (for cooking)
  • Optional add-ins: sautéed onions, bell peppers, spinach, tomatoes, jalapeños, avocado

Instructions

  1. Cook any meat or vegetables in a skillet over medium heat until done. Set aside.
  2. In a bowl, beat the eggs. Scramble them in the skillet until just set, then remove from heat.
  3. Wipe the skillet clean and melt butter or add oil over medium heat.
  4. Place a tortilla in the skillet. On one half, layer cheese, scrambled eggs, meat, and any desired fillings.
  5. Fold the tortilla in half to form a half-moon shape and press gently.
  6. Cook for 2–3 minutes per side, until golden and cheese is melted.
  7. Repeat with the second tortilla. Slice into wedges and serve warm.

Notes

  • Pre-cook vegetables to reduce moisture and prevent soggy quesadillas.
  • Use flour tortillas for best texture and flexibility.
  • Customize with your favorite fillings like beans, salsa, or greens.
  • Freeze individually for a quick heat-and-eat breakfast.
  • Reheat in a skillet or toaster oven to keep crispness.
