Description

These Easy Breakfast Quesadillas are crispy, cheesy, and packed with fluffy eggs and your favorite fillings. Perfect for busy mornings, they’re ready in just 10 minutes and can be customized for any taste or diet.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large flour tortillas (8-inch size)
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon milk (optional, for fluffier eggs)
  • ½ cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or Mexican blend)
  • 1 tablespoon butter or oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Optional Fillings:

  • Cooked bacon, sausage, or ham (chopped)
  • Diced bell peppers or onions
  • Spinach, avocado, or tomatoes
  • Salsa or hot sauce (for serving)

Instructions

  • Scramble Eggs: In a bowl, whisk eggs, milk, salt, and pepper. Heat butter in a skillet over medium heat. Pour in the eggs and cook, stirring, until just set. Remove from heat.
  • Assemble Quesadilla: Place one tortilla in the same skillet (or a clean pan) over medium heat. Sprinkle half the cheese evenly, then add scrambled eggs and any optional fillings. Top with remaining cheese and second tortilla.
  • Cook Until Crispy: Cook for 1–2 minutes per side, pressing gently with a spatula, until golden brown and cheese is melted.
  • Slice & Serve: Remove from pan, let cool slightly, then cut into wedges. Serve with salsa, sour cream, or avocado slices.

Notes

Make Ahead: Cook eggs and fillings ahead of time; assemble and heat when ready to serve.

Customize: Try it with mushrooms, turkey bacon, or black beans for added flavor and protein.

Cheese Tip: A mix of cheddar and Monterey Jack melts beautifully and adds extra flavor.

Serving Suggestions: Pair with fresh fruit, hash browns, or a smoothie for a complete breakfast.

Storage Tips: Wrap leftovers in foil and refrigerate for up to 2 days. Reheat in a skillet or air fryer until crispy.
