Ingredients
- 2 Large eggoz eggsÂ
- 1 small tomato, diced
- 2 large flour tortillas
- 1/4 cup bell pepper, dicedÂ
- 1/4 cup cooked bacon or sausage (optional)Â
- Salt and pepper to tasteÂ
- 1/4 cup shredded cheese
- 1/4 teaspoon chili powder (optional)Â
- Butter or oil for cookingÂ
Instructions
- Prepare Protein and Vegetables: Add tomato, bell pepper, and any other items like bacon or sausage. The filling will soon include these, so set them aside.
- Scramble eggs: Crack eggs into a bowl, add salt and pepper, and whisk until smooth. Add eggs to a small pan over medium heat with a little butter or oil. Stir eggs gently until soft-scrambled—set yet creamy. Set aside scrambled eggs on a platter.
- Build the Quesadilla: Place one tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread half the shredded cheese over the tortilla, then scrambled eggs, diced tomato, bell pepper, and any toppings like bacon or sausage. Cover with the second tortilla and push down slightly to seal. Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top.
- Cook Quesadilla: Add a little butter or oil to a large skillet over medium heat. Slide the quesadilla into the skillet and cook for 3–4 minutes on one side until the bottom tortilla is golden and crispy. Flip it and cook for 2-3 more minutes until the other side is brown and the cheese melts.
- Slice and Serve: Breakfast quesadillas are wonderful alone but much better with fresh toppings. With sour cream, salsa, or guacamole for dipping. For added flavour and colour, put chopped cilantro or green onions on top.
- Garnish and Enjoy: Top the breakfast quesadilla with sour cream, salsa, guacamole, or cilantro. These enhance flavour and make each bite better.
