Servings: 1 quesadilla
Calories: 718kcal
Ingredients
- 1 flour tortilla 8 inches
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 cup cheddar cheese grated
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- salt and pepper to taste
Protein Options
- 3 oz breakfast sausage
- 2 slices of bacon
Instructions
- In a skillet over medium-high heat, cook your sausage or bacon until browned and cooked through. Then remove from heat and set aside. You will want a little grease in the pan for your eggs, but if there is a lot, be sure to wipe it up so there isn’t too much.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs, salt, and pepper.
- In the same medium skillet, add your whisked egg mixture. Cook over low heat until they are almost cooked, where you can tilt the pan and the eggs won’t run.
- Then, add 2 tablespoons of cheese on top of the eggs and place your tortilla on top of the cheese.
- At this point, the eggs and cheese should be sticking to the tortilla. Next, using a large spatula, flip the tortilla over.
- Then, add the other 2 tablespoons of cheese on top of the eggs and add your protein to one side of the tortilla.
- Fold the tortilla in half and cook until the tortilla has a golden-brown, crisp texture.
- Finally, serve and enjoy!

Notes
To STORE the Breakfast Quesadilla, let it cool and place it in a single layer in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For longer storage, FREEZE quesadillas by wrapping each in foil and placing them in a labeled freezer bag for up to 3 months.
REHEAT in a skillet over medium heat or in an oven at 350°F (180°C) until warm and crispy. You can also reheat in a toaster oven for a few minutes until heated through. For a quicker option, use the microwave in 30-second intervals, though the tortilla may not be as crispy.
