Categories     main-dish

Time 55m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 pound thin bacon
Butter, for the pan
1 onion, diced
1 red bell pepper, diced
1 jalapeno, seeded and diced
1/4 cup half-and-half
8 large eggs
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
3/4 cup freshly grated Cheddar
3/4 cup freshly grated Monterey Jack cheese
6 whole-wheat tortillas
Avocado slices, for topping, optional
Sour cream, for serving
Store-bought or homemade pico de gallo or salsa, for serving

Steps:

  • Fry the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crisp. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate and pour off the excess grease.
  • Return the skillet to the stove over high heat. Add a couple tablespoons of butter. When it's melted and the skillet is hot, add the onions, bell peppers and jalapenos. Stir the veggies around and cook until starting to soften and turn golden brown.
  • Meanwhile, mix together the half-and-half, eggs and some salt and pepper in a bowl. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet with the veggies. Scoot the eggs around the skillet with a spatula, cooking slowly, until the eggs are done. Turn off the heat and set aside.
  • To assemble the quesadillas, set a griddle or skillet over medium-low heat and add some butter. Toss together the grated Cheddar and Monterey Jack in a bowl. Put a tortilla on the griddle and add a layer of cheese, a layer of the cooked eggs and veggies, a layer of bacon slices, a layer of avocado if using and another layer of cheese. Top with a second tortilla. Cook on both sides, flipping carefully, until the cheeses are totally melted and the filling is hot. Repeat with the other tortillas and ingredients.
  • Slice the 3 quesadillas into 4 wedges each. Serve on a plate with sour cream and pico de gallo or salsa (or grab them and head out the door!).

Provided by Maryann D.

Categories     100+ Breakfast and Brunch Recipes     Eggs     Breakfast Sandwich Recipes

Time 30m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 8

cooking spray
2 (4 ounce) links spicy pork breakfast sausage
3 large eggs
2 tablespoons milk
3 tablespoons chopped green onions
salt and ground black pepper to taste
4 (6 inch) flour tortillas
2 tablespoons nacho cheese sauce, or to taste

Steps:

  • Spray a skillet with cooking spray and heat over medium-low heat. Add sausages and cook, turning often, until cooked through and browned, 12 to 16 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 160 degrees F (70 degrees C). Remove sausages from the skillet and chop when cool enough to handle.
  • Beat eggs in a small bowl with milk.
  • Spray a small skillet with cooking spray and set over low heat. Add the beaten eggs, green onions, salt, and pepper; cook until edges are set, then gently turn with a spatula until scrambled, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove eggs to a plate and wipe out the skillet with a paper towel.
  • Place 1 tortilla in the skillet over low heat. Top with 1/2 of the nacho cheese sauce, 1/2 of the chopped sausage, and 1/2 of the scrambled eggs. Top with another tortilla and cook, carefully turning once, just until lightly browned on both sides, about 5 minutes. Remove to a plate and repeat to cook remaining quesadilla.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients. Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make your quesadillas taste their best. Look for ripe vegetables, flavorful cheese, and high-quality tortillas.
  • Don't overcrowd the quesadillas. If you put too much filling in your quesadillas, they will be difficult to fold and cook evenly. Aim for a thin layer of filling that is evenly distributed across the tortilla.
  • Cook the quesadillas over medium heat. This will help to prevent the tortillas from burning and allow the cheese to melt evenly.
  • Flip the quesadillas frequently. This will help to ensure that they cook evenly on both sides.
  • Serve the quesadillas immediately. Quesadillas are best when served fresh and hot. Top them with your favorite salsa, guacamole, or sour cream.

Conclusion:

Breakfast quesadillas are a delicious, versatile, and easy-to-make meal. They can be customized to your liking, making them a great option for a quick and satisfying breakfast, lunch, or dinner. With a few simple tips, you can make perfect quesadillas every time.
