The breakfast quesadilla—also known as the egg cheese quesadilla—traces its roots to Mexico. Traditionally made with corn tortillas and melted cheese, it has evolved globally, adopting regional flavors and ingredients. What began in central and northern Mexico as a simple tortilla filled with cheese has transformed into a versatile dish, enjoyed worldwide with additions like eggs, vegetables, and meats.
Our version adds a protein-rich twist with Eggoz Eggs, spicy green chillies, crunchy cabbage, and gooey cheese, all packed into a crispy tortilla. Perfect for mornings when you want something quick yet deeply satisfying.
My Experience with It
The first time I tried making this quesadilla at home, it quickly became a favorite! The aroma of eggs sizzling in chilli oil, the crunch of cabbage, and the melt-in-your-mouth cheese made it an instant comfort food. It’s now a go-to breakfast at my place—especially on busy days when I want something filling and flavorful in under 15 minutes.

🔎 Tips for the Perfect Quesadilla
-
Use a non-stick pan to prevent sticking and ensure easy flipping.
-
Don’t overfill—too much cabbage or cheese can make it hard to flip.
-
You can swap the paratha for a multigrain or whole wheat tortilla for a healthier twist.
-
Add chopped capsicum or corn for extra texture and sweetness.
