Main 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
- Whisk the eggs: In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs, salt, and pepper until well combined and set aside.
- 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.
- Cook the eggs: Pour the whisked eggs into the pan, spreading them evenly to coat the bottom. Cook until the edges are fully set but the center remains soft and slightly runny.
- Add bacon and cheese: Sprinkle half of the chopped bacon and half of the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the eggs in the pan.
- Place the tortilla: Put the flour tortilla on top of the eggs, gently pressing so it adheres to the egg and cheese layer.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
