Description
A delightful breakfast option featuring crispy bacon, fluffy scrambled eggs, and melted cheddar cheese in a golden tortilla.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 6 slices of bacon
- 4 large eggs
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon butter
- Optional: hot sauce, chopped green onions, or fresh cilantro for garnish
Instructions
- Start by heating a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the bacon until crispy, about 5–7 minutes. Drain on a paper towel and crumble.
- In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper until well combined.
- In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat and scramble the eggs until just set but still soft.
- Lay a tortilla flat, add a fourth of the cheese, eggs, and crumbled bacon to one half, then fold the tortilla.
- Cook the quesadillas in a skillet over medium heat for 2–3 minutes on each side until golden brown and cheese melts.
- Allow to cool slightly, cut into sections, and garnish with optional toppings before serving.
Notes
For crispy bacon, ensure it is fully cooked before adding to quesadillas. Customize cheese and add veggies for more flavor.
