Description
A delicious and hearty breakfast quesadilla featuring fluffy scrambled eggs, crispy bacon, and melted cheddar cheese all sandwiched inside a golden, toasted flour tortilla. Perfect for a satisfying morning meal that’s quick and easy to prepare.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 8-inch flour tortilla
- 2 slices cooked bacon, chopped
- 2 large eggs
- 33 grams shredded cheddar cheese (about 1/3 cup)
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- 5 grams unsalted butter (optional, can substitute cooking spray)
Instructions
- In a small bowl, thoroughly whisk the 2 large eggs together with salt and black pepper until well combined and slightly frothy.
- Heat the butter or lightly spray an 8 or 10-inch frying pan over medium-low heat. Pour in the beaten eggs and gently swirl the pan to distribute them evenly. Cook the eggs, stirring occasionally, until the edges are set but the center remains soft and slightly runny for a creamy texture.
- Evenly sprinkle half of the chopped cooked bacon and half of the shredded cheddar cheese over the partially cooked eggs in the pan.
- Gently press the flour tortilla down onto the egg, bacon, and cheese mixture in the pan so that it adheres to the toppings.
- Carefully invert the pan so that the tortilla is now on the bottom and the eggs, bacon, and cheese are on top. This allows even cooking of the quesadilla fillings.
- Sprinkle the remaining chopped bacon and shredded cheddar cheese over the exposed eggs on the tortilla side.
- Fold the filled tortilla in half using a spatula. Cook each side of the folded quesadilla until golden brown and the cheese inside is melted, approximately 2–3 minutes per side.
- Remove the quesadilla from the pan, cut into wedges, and serve immediately while warm and gooey.
