  • Author: Julia
  • Total Time: 20 minutes

Description

Quick, cheesy, and customizable breakfast quesadillas perfect for busy mornings or brunch.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large flour tortillas (or whole-grain for a healthier option)

  • 3 large eggs

  • ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese (or Mexican cheese blend)

  • ½ cup sautéed bell peppers and onions

  • 2 slices turkey bacon, cooked and chopped

  • Optional: fresh avocado slices, salsa, or hot sauce for serving


Instructions

  • Cook the Protein: In a skillet, cook the turkey bacon until crispy. Chop into bite-sized pieces and set aside.

  • Sauté the Vegetables: In the same skillet, sauté bell peppers and onions until soft and lightly caramelized. Remove from the skillet.

  • Scramble the Eggs: Beat the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper, then cook in the skillet over medium heat until just set.

  • Assemble the Quesadilla: Place a tortilla in the skillet, add scrambled eggs, cooked turkey bacon, sautéed vegetables, and shredded cheese on one half. Fold the tortilla over.

  • Cook Until Golden: Heat the folded quesadilla over medium heat for 2–3 minutes per side, pressing gently, until the tortilla is golden and the cheese is melted.

  • Serve: Remove from heat, slice into wedges, and serve immediately with optional avocado, salsa, or hot sauce.
