A light and summery breakfast. It's great with fruit or yogurt. It even got high marks from the meat-eaters in our household! Extra-easy if you have a quesadilla-maker!

Time 30m

Yield 2-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 tablespoon lime juice
sea salt & freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1 dash cumin, to taste
2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
2 green onions, chopped
1 small avocado, mashed
4 whole wheat tortillas
1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese
1 tablespoon olive oil, in an atomizer
1 cup fruit salsa, for dipping

Steps:

  • Mist a light coat of olive oil on a frying pan and saute green onions until slightly softened.
  • Beat eggs with lime juice and add to the pan. Season with salt, pepper and cumin. Scramble as usual, adding chopped cilantro when eggs are soft-set.
  • Set scambled eggs aside on a warmed plate, wipe pan with a paper towel, and remist it with the olive oil atomizer.
  • Spread 2 of the tortillas with mashed avocado. Season with more salt, pepper or cumin, if desired.
  • Add 1 tortilla, avocado side up to the pan, top with one half of the scambled eggs, a 1/2 cup of the shredded cheddar and finally, one plain tortilla.
  • Allow quesadilla to heat through, until the bottom tortilla has begun to crisp (but not burn!). Mist olive oil on the top tortilla and flip quesadilla over in the pan, allowing the top to crisp, as well.
  • When finished, remove to a warm plate and follow directions 5 and 6 with second quesadilla.
  • When both are finished, slice and serve with fruit salsa.

VEGETARIAN QUESADILLAS

These are delicious and very filling! The small amount of cheese really goes a long way - they taste cheesy but aren't oozing and loaded with fat. They also contain lots of fiber. For a very nutritious and yummy meal, I eat half of one, a salad with avocado, and an orange.

VEGETARIAN BREAKFAST QUESADILLA



Vegetarian Breakfast Quesadilla image

I got the idea from a recipe at Mr.Breakfast, but added some things of my own! It's pretty quick and delicious! Much better than cereal and milk again... About the "Mexican cheese", my local grocery store sells a bag that's a mix of three different cheeses, it's already shredded! They call it Mexican for some reason, and I always use it for this sort of thing.

Time 20m

Yield 1 quesadilla, 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 stalk green onion
1/4 of a tomatoes
2 slices vegetarian ham (I used Lightlife Smart Deli Ham)
1 cup steamed broccoli
1 egg
1 pinch salt
1 pinch pepper
2 teaspoons margarine
2 big tortillas
1 teaspoon vegetable oil
1 and a half cups mexican shredded cheese

Steps:

  • Slice the onions, tomatoes, broccoli and veggie ham into small pieces. Mix in the vegetable oil.
  • Heat a frying pan to medium-high. Add the vegetable mixture.
  • Meanwhile, whisk the egg, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Add to pan with the veggie mix when the broccoli is a little golden. Mix up to get a scrambled egg texture!
  • Once the eggs look done, put this mixture in a bowl.
  • Clean your frying pan (or get a new one) and rub 1 teaspoon of margarine around in it. Once it melts, put one tortilla in it, and spread some of the shredded cheese on top of it.
  • Once the cheese starts to get a bit melty, spread the egg/veggie mixture you've set aside on top of it. Add the rest of the cheese on top of this, and then put the other tortilla on top!
  • Spread the rest of the margarine on the top of the new tortilla, and check the bottom one to see if it's golden-brown. If it is, flip the quesadilla over with a spatula and heat the other side until that's golden-brown!
  • Put on a plate, cut into slices, and serve!
