Bacon Egg and Cheese Breakfast Quesadillas Recipe

Introduction

Bacon Egg and Cheese Breakfast Quesadillas are a delicious and satisfying way to start your day. Crispy bacon, fluffy eggs, and melted cheddar cheese come together inside a warm tortilla for an easy breakfast or brunch treat.

Ingredients

• 1 8-inch flour tortilla
• 2 slices cooked and chopped bacon (divided)
• 2 large eggs
• 1/3 cup shredded cheddar cheese (divided)
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 teaspoon butter (optional)

Instructions

1. Step 1: In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs, salt, and pepper. Set aside.
2. Step 2: Heat a frying pan over medium-low heat. Melt the butter or spray the pan with cooking spray.
3. Step 3: Pour the eggs into the pan, spreading them evenly to coat the bottom. Cook until the edges are set but the center remains slightly soft.
4. Step 4: Sprinkle half of the chopped bacon and half of the cheese evenly over the eggs.
5. Step 5: Place the tortilla on top of the eggs, pressing gently to help it adhere.
6. Step 6: Carefully flip the eggs and tortilla so the tortilla is now on the bottom. Sprinkle the remaining bacon and cheese over the eggs.
7. Step 7: Fold the quesadilla in half and cook until both sides are golden brown and the cheese has melted, about 2-3 minutes per side.
8. Step 8: Remove from the pan, cut into wedges with a pizza cutter, and serve immediately.

Tips & Variations

• For extra flavor, add diced green chilies or a sprinkle of smoked paprika to the eggs before cooking.
• Use pepper jack cheese instead of cheddar for a bit of heat.
• Try using whole wheat or spinach tortillas for a healthier twist.
• If you don’t have a frying pan, you can cook the quesadilla on a griddle or skillet over medium heat.

Storage

Store leftover quesadillas in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in a skillet over medium heat or in a toaster oven to keep the tortilla crispy. Avoid microwaving to prevent sogginess.

FAQs

Can I make these quesadillas ahead of time?

What can I use if I don’t have butter?

Main Ingredients

• 2 slices cooked and chopped bacon (divided)
• 2 large eggs
• 1/3 cup shredded cheddar cheese (divided)
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 teaspoon butter (optional)

Instructions

1. Whisk the eggs: In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs, salt, and pepper until well combined and set aside.
2. Prepare the pan: Heat an 8 or 10-inch frying pan over medium-low heat. Melt the butter or lightly spray the pan with cooking spray to prevent sticking.

4. Add bacon and cheese: Sprinkle half of the chopped bacon and half of the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the eggs in the pan.
5. Place the tortilla: Put the flour tortilla on top of the eggs, gently pressing so it adheres to the egg and cheese layer.
6. Flip the quesadilla: Carefully flip the entire eggs and tortilla so the tortilla is now on the bottom of the pan. Sprinkle the remaining bacon and shredded cheese over the eggs side.
7. Fold and cook: Fold the quesadilla in half and cook on both sides until the tortilla is golden brown and the cheese is fully melted inside, about 2-3 minutes per side.
8. Serve: Remove the quesadilla from the pan and cut it into wedges using a pizza cutter. Serve hot and enjoy your breakfast!

Notes

• You can add diced vegetables like bell peppers or onions for extra flavor and nutrition.
• Use low-fat cheese or turkey bacon for a lighter version.
• Cooking on medium-low heat ensures the eggs cook gently without burning the tortilla.
• For a crispier quesadilla, cook a little longer on each side but watch carefully to avoid burning.
• Leftover quesadillas can be reheated in a skillet or microwave for a quick breakfast.
