how to make Breakfast Quesadillas

Making breakfast quesadillas is easy and quick! Follow these simple steps to whip up your own batch.

Ingredients:

4 large flour tortillas (8-inch)
6 large eggs
½ cup shredded cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese
½ cup diced bell peppers
¼ cup diced onions
¼ cup cooked breakfast sausage or bacon, crumbled (optional)
2 tbsp butter or oil
Salt and pepper, to taste
Sour cream and salsa, for serving

Directions:

In a bowl, whisk together the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper. Set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a skillet over medium heat. Toss in the diced bell peppers and onions, and sauté until they soften (about 3-4 minutes).
Add the whisked eggs to the skillet and scramble everything together until just set. Remove from heat and set aside.
If using a clean skillet or the same one after wiping it out, place it back on medium heat and allow to warm up.
Lay one tortilla in the skillet, sprinkle half of the cheese over one half of the tortilla. Add a generous scoop of the scrambled egg mixture and, if you’re feeling indulgent, toss in some crumbled sausage or bacon.
Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top and fold the tortilla over to create a half-moon shape.
Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until the tortilla turns golden brown and the cheese is melted.
Repeat this process with the remaining tortillas and filling.
Once done, slice the quesadillas into wedges and serve with sour cream and salsa on the side for dipping.

Serve your breakfast quesadillas hot, fresh from the skillet. Cut them into wedges and place them on a plate. Offer sour cream and salsa on the side for dipping. You can also add sliced avocado or fresh cilantro for extra flavor.

how to store Breakfast Quesadillas

If you have leftover quesadillas, let them cool completely, then store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. To reheat, simply warm them in a skillet over medium heat until heated through.

Don’t overcrowd the skillet; work in batches to get that perfect golden brown color.
