BACON AND HASH BROWN "QUESADILLA" WITH EGGS



Bacon and Hash Brown

I have always made my quesadillas by layering the ingredients with tortillas and baking them, rather than pan-frying. I find the resulting quesadilla to be far lighter, crisper, and suitable for overstuffing-such as here, with smoky bacon and crispy shreds of hash brown potatoes. Add a fried egg and a smattering of fresh tomato salsa, and you've got the best Mexican breakfast sandwich.

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 21

2 large russet potatoes (2 pounds), scrubbed
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 tablespoons canola oil, plus more for brushing
2 large Spanish onions, halved and thinly sliced
1 poblano chile, roasted and finely diced
1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons ancho chile powder
13 pound thick-cut bacon, diced
12 (6-inch) flour tortillas
2 12 cups grated Monterey Jack cheese
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 large eggs
Fresh Tomato Salsa, recipe follows
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh chives
2 ripe beefsteak tomatoes or 4 ripe plum tomatoes, diced
12 red onion, halved and thinly sliced
1 jalapeno, finely diced
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
2 tablespoons canola oil
2 teaspoons honey
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh cilantro
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large saute pan over medium heat. Add the onions, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and caramelized, about 30 minutes.
  • Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons oil in a large nonstick saute pan over high heat, add the potatoes, and cook until golden brown. Stir in the onions, poblano, and 1 tablespoon of the ancho powder, season with salt and pepper, and cook until just warmed through, about 2 minutes.
  • Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until browned and crisp, about 8 minutes. Scoop out and transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to drain.
  • Lay out 8 of the tortillas on a work surface. Divide the hash browns, bacon, and cheese among the tortillas. Stack half of the tortillas on top of the remaining topped ones to create 4 double stacks. Top each with one of the remaining 4 tortillas. Brush the tops with a little oil and sprinkle with the remaining 2 teaspoons ancho powder.
  • Transfer the quesadillas to a large baking sheet and bake until golden brown and the cheese has melted, 8 to 10 minutes.
  • When the quesadillas are nearly ready, melt the butter in a large nonstick saute pan over medium heat. Carefully crack the eggs into the pan, season with salt and pepper, and cook until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny, about 2 minutes.
  • Top each quesadilla with a fried egg, some of the tomato salsa, and a sprinkling of chives.
  • Combine all of the ingredients in a bowl and let sit at room temperature for at least 15 minutes before serving.

Categories     main-dish

Time 50m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

8 ounces bacon, diced
1/2 red onion, diced
2 cups frozen hash browns, thawed
1 3/4 teaspoons kosher salt
1 bunch Tuscan kale, chopped
10 large eggs, at room temperature
1/2 cup heavy cream or whole milk, at room temperature
4 ounces sharp white Cheddar, grated (about 1 1/2 cups loosely packed)
4 ounces mozzarella, grated (about 1 cup)

Steps:

  • Preheat the broiler to high and position a rack in the top third of the oven.
  • Put the bacon in a 12-inch nonstick ovenproof skillet and place over medium heat. Cook, stirring often with a rubber spatula, until the bacon is crispy and golden brown, about 10 minutes. Remove the bacon to a plate with a slotted spoon and remove all but 2 tablespoons of the bacon fat from the skillet. Add the red onion to the skillet along with the hash browns. Stir in 1/2 teaspoon salt and spread the mixture evenly over the bottom of the skillet. Cook, undisturbed, until the potatoes are beginning to brown and get crispy, about 3 minutes. Stir the potato mixture with a rubber spatula. Re-spread the mixture evenly on the bottom of the skillet and cook, undisturbed, to brown a bit more, another 2 minutes. Add the kale and another 1/2 teaspoon salt and cook until the kale is wilted, another 2 minutes. Stir in the reserved bacon.
  • Meanwhile, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream and remaining 3/4 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl. Add the grated cheeses. Add the egg mixture to the skillet and stir to combine. Cook, stirring occasionally with a rubber spatula, until the mixture looks like loose scrambled eggs, about 2 minutes. Cook, undisturbed, to set the bottom, about 1 minute longer. Place the skillet under the broiler until the top is golden brown and the eggs are set, 3 to 4 minutes. Allow to cool for 5 minutes before slicing into wedges and serving.

Time 35m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 medium russet potatoes, shredded
½ medium onion, finely chopped
¼ cup all-purpose flour
1 egg
1 cup oil for frying, or as needed
salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Rinse shredded potatoes until water is clear, then drain and squeeze dry. Place shreds in a bowl, and mix in the onion, flour and egg until evenly distributed.
  • Heat about 1/4 inch of oil in a large heavy skillet over medium-high heat. When oil is sizzling hot, place potatoes into the pan in a 1/2 inch thick layer. Cover the whole bottom of the pan, or make separate piles like pancakes. Cook until nicely browned on the bottom, then flip over and brown on the other side. It should take at least 5 minutes per side. If you are cooking them in one big piece, it can be cut into quarters for easier flipping.
  • Remove from pan, and drain on paper towels. Season with salt and pepper and serve immediately.

CRISPY-EDGED QUESADILLA



Crispy-Edged Quesadilla image

This straightforward quesadilla has an unexpected twist: a border of salty, crispy cheese surrounding the tortilla. Achieving it couldn't be easier; just press down on the folded tortilla as it heats up in the pan so the cheese spills out and turns golden. A nonstick pan is key here, otherwise the melted cheese will glue itself onto the cooking surface. Medium heat is just the right temperature for a quesadilla: It's hot enough to crisp up the cheese but low enough to prevent the cheese from burning.

Time 10m

Yield 1 quesadilla

Number Of Ingredients 3

2 teaspoons oil (such as olive, grapeseed or sunflower oil)
1 (8-inch) flour tortilla
2/3 cup shredded cheese (such as Cheddar, Monterey Jack or Mexican cheese blend)

Steps:

  • Place a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat, then add the oil. Let oil heat up for 20 seconds, swirling the pan around so the oil coats the bottom.
  • Place the tortilla in the skillet and sprinkle the cheese evenly over the top. Once the cheese begins to melt, 30 seconds to 1 minute, use a spatula to fold the tortilla in half. Using the spatula, press down firmly on the top of the tortilla until some of the cheese runs out into the pan. Let the quesadilla cook until the cheese that's leaked out solidifies and turns brown, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Flip the quesadilla over and let cook on the other side for another 1 to 2 minutes, until the cheese is crisp and golden. Slide quesadilla onto a plate and serve immediately.
