Breakfast quesadillas are a quick and satisfying morning meal made with scrambled eggs, melted cheese, and your favorite fillings inside a golden, crispy tortilla. Perfect for busy mornings, brunches, or make-ahead breakfasts.

Ingredients

  • 2–4 large flour tortillas
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons milk or water (optional)
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or blend)
  • 1/2 cup cooked breakfast sausage, bacon, or ham (crumbled or chopped)
  • 1/4 cup diced bell peppers
  • 1/4 cup chopped onions
  • 1/2 cup spinach or leafy greens (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon butter or oil for cooking
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Salsa, sour cream, or sliced avocado (for serving)

Instructions

  1. Whisk eggs with milk or water, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
  2. Heat butter or oil in a skillet over medium heat. Scramble eggs until cooked through and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, sauté onions and bell peppers until softened. Add spinach if using and cook until wilted.
  4. Clean the skillet or use a second one. Place a tortilla in the pan over medium heat.
  5. On one half of the tortilla, layer cheese, scrambled eggs, cooked meat, and sautéed vegetables. Sprinkle with more cheese.
  6. Fold the tortilla over and cook for 2–3 minutes on each side until golden brown and cheese is melted.
  7. Remove from the skillet and let rest for 1 minute. Slice into wedges.
  8. Serve warm with salsa, sour cream, or avocado.

Notes

  • Let cooked ingredients cool slightly before assembling to prevent sogginess.
  • Use a dry skillet or panini press for extra crispy quesadillas.
  • Make a large batch and freeze for quick breakfasts throughout the week.
  • Customize fillings based on what you have in your fridge—great for leftovers!
  • Low-moisture cheeses melt best and keep the quesadillas crispy.
