SIMPLE EGG AND CHEESE BREAKFAST QUESADILLAS



Simple Egg and Cheese Breakfast Quesadillas image

This is a recipe that I made up after being disappointed by the Dunkin' Donuts® breakfast quesadilla. These quesadillas are satisfying and filling, and a good way to start your day. I make these the night before for my husband. He re-warms them in the microwave or the toaster oven and they are as good as freshly made. They can also be made in advance and frozen for future breakfasts.

Time 30m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 large eggs, divided
3 tablespoons milk, divided
2 teaspoons butter, divided
¼ cup diced green bell pepper
¼ cup diced onion
2 (1/2 inch thick) slices processed cheese (such as Velveeta®), divided
4 (6 inch) flour tortillas

Steps:

  • Beat 2 eggs with 1 1/2 tablespoons milk in a bowl.
  • Melt 1 teaspoon butter in a 6-inch frying pan over medium heat. Add bell pepper and onion and cook until onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Remove 1/2 the mixture and set aside in a bowl.
  • Pour egg mixture and 1/2 vegetable mixture into the skillet. Tilt the pan, gently push one side of the egg, without breaking it, away from the side of the pan, and let the uncooked egg run onto the pan. Repeat with all four sides of the egg, cooking until bottom is set, about 2 minutes. Flip over and cook until bottom is slightly browned, 1 to 2 minutes more.
  • Slide omelet onto a tortilla, then slide tortilla back onto the pan. Place 1 slice of cheese onto the omelet and top with another tortilla. Cook until bottom is browned, about 2 minutes. Flip and brown opposite side, about 1 minute more. Slide quesadilla onto a plate and cut into 4 sections.
  • Beat remaining 2 eggs and 1 1/2 tablespoons milk together in a bowl. Grease the same pan with the second teaspoon of butter. Repeat steps 3-4 with the reserved vegetables and the remaining cheese and tortillas.

Time 25m

Yield 2 quesadillas, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 cup cooked ham, diced

Tips:

  • Choose the right tortillas. Flour tortillas are the most common type of tortilla used for quesadillas, but you can also use corn tortillas or whole wheat tortillas. If you are using flour tortillas, look for ones that are soft and pliable.
  • Use fresh ingredients. The fresher the ingredients, the better your quesadillas will taste. Use fresh eggs, cheese, ham, and vegetables.
  • Don't overstuff the quesadillas. If you overstuff the quesadillas, they will be difficult to fold and cook evenly. Aim for a thin layer of filling in each quesadilla.
  • Cook the quesadillas over medium heat. If you cook the quesadillas over too high heat, they will burn before they are cooked through. Cook them over medium heat until they are golden brown and the cheese is melted.
  • Serve the quesadillas immediately. Quesadillas are best served immediately after they are cooked. They can be served with salsa, guacamole, sour cream, or your favorite dipping sauce.

Conclusion:

Ham, egg, and cheese quesadillas are a quick and easy meal that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They are also a great way to use up leftover ham and eggs. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make delicious and satisfying quesadillas that the whole family will love.
