Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 large flour tortillas
- 3 eggs
- ½ cup shredded cheese (cheddar or your choice)
- ¼ cup cooked bacon or sausage, chopped
- 2 tbsp diced bell peppers or fresh spinach
- Butter or oil for cooking
Instructions
- Prepare the eggs: In a bowl, crack the eggs and season with salt and pepper. Whisk well until combined. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat, add a small amount of butter or oil, then scramble the eggs gently until just set. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- Assemble the quesadilla: Heat the skillet again over medium heat and place one flour tortilla flat in the pan. Evenly sprinkle half of the shredded cheese over the tortilla, then layer the scrambled eggs, cooked bacon or sausage, and diced bell peppers or spinach on top. Add the remaining cheese to help the top tortilla stick.
- Cook and flip: Place the second tortilla on top, pressing gently to adhere. Cook for about 3-4 minutes or until the bottom tortilla is golden brown and crispy. Carefully flip the quesadilla using a spatula and cook the other side until golden and the cheese inside is melted, about another 3 minutes.
- Serve: Remove the quesadilla from the skillet and let it rest for a minute. Slice into wedges and serve warm with salsa, sour cream, or your favorite dips.
Notes
- Make it vegetarian by omitting meat and adding beans along with extra veggies like mushrooms or zucchini.
- Use whole wheat tortillas for a healthier twist.
- Customize the fillings with other favorites like diced tomatoes, jalapeños, or fresh herbs.
- If you prefer a gluten-free option, use gluten-free tortillas.
