A delicious and simple breakfast quesadilla recipe featuring fluffy eggs, crispy bacon, and melted cheddar cheese all wrapped in warm flour tortillas. Perfect for a quick morning meal that’s both satisfying and flavorful.

Ingredients

Scale

Egg Mixture

  • 4 eggs

Tortillas

  • 4 small flour tortillas (6-inch)

Meat

  • 4 slices bacon (or 4 Tbsp bacon bits, divided)

Cheese

  • 1 cup cheddar cheese (grated)

Oil

  • 8 Tbsp canola oil (divided)

Instructions

  1. Cook the bacon: In a skillet over medium heat, cook 3 slices of bacon (if using slices) until crispy. Remove bacon and drain on paper towels. Crumble the bacon once cooled. If using bacon bits, skip this step.
  2. Scramble the eggs: In a bowl, beat the 4 eggs until combined. In the same skillet, add 1 Tbsp of canola oil and pour in the eggs. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring gently until just set but still soft. Remove from skillet and set aside.
  3. Assemble quesadilla: Lay one tortilla flat. Sprinkle 1/4 cup grated cheddar cheese on half of the tortilla, add some scrambled eggs and 1 Tbsp bacon bits or crumbled bacon, then another 1/4 cup cheese on top. Fold the tortilla over to form a half-moon shape.
  4. Cook quesadilla: In the same skillet, heat 1-2 Tbsp canola oil over medium heat. Carefully place the folded quesadilla into the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the tortilla is golden brown and crispy and the cheese is melted inside. Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling.
  5. Serve: Remove quesadillas from skillet, let cool for one minute, then cut into wedges and serve warm.

Notes

  • You can substitute bacon with turkey bacon or sausage for variation.
  • Feel free to add vegetables like diced bell peppers or onions for extra flavor.
  • Use whole wheat tortillas for a healthier alternative.
  • Cooking on medium to medium-low heat prevents burning while ensuring thorough melting of cheese.
