Crispy, cheesy, and savory breakfast quesadillas filled with scrambled eggs, melted cheese, and your favorite breakfast ingredients. Perfect for quick mornings, meal prep, or a hearty weekend brunch.

Ingredients

  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • 8 large eggs
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or a blend)
  • 1 cup cooked and chopped breakfast sausage, bacon, or ham
  • 1/2 cup diced bell peppers
  • 1/4 cup diced onions
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon butter or oil, for cooking
  • Salsa, sour cream, or avocado, for serving

Instructions

  1. Cook the sausage or bacon in a skillet over medium heat until browned and fully cooked. Remove and set aside.
  2. In the same skillet, melt a small amount of butter or oil and sauté the diced onions and peppers until softened.
  3. In a bowl, whisk the eggs with salt and pepper, then pour them into the skillet. Cook, stirring, until softly scrambled.
  4. Add the cooked meat and stir to combine. Remove from heat.
  5. Place a tortilla on a clean surface or skillet, sprinkle cheese over half, and spoon some egg mixture on top.
  6. Fold the tortilla in half and press gently to seal.
  7. Cook the quesadilla in a skillet over medium heat for 2–3 minutes per side, until golden and the cheese has melted.
  8. Cut into wedges and serve warm with salsa, sour cream, or avocado.

Notes

  • Use any cooked protein like sausage, bacon, ham, or chorizo.
  • Cool the filling slightly before assembling to avoid soggy tortillas.
  • For a vegetarian version, skip the meat and add vegetables like spinach or mushrooms.
  • These freeze well — wrap individually and reheat in a skillet or oven.
  • Use low-carb tortillas or egg wraps for a lighter option.
