Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 8 large flour tortillas
- 6 large eggs
- 6 slices of bacon
- 8 ounces (226 grams) cheddar cheese
Seasoning:
- Salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
Serving Accompaniments:
- Salsa
- Sour cream
- Guacamole
Instructions
- Crisp bacon in a skillet until deeply golden and crunchy, then carefully break into small, irregular pieces.
- Whisk eggs thoroughly, seasoning with a pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper, then gently scramble in a warm pan until softly set and creamy.
- Arrange large tortillas on a clean work surface, strategically spreading the scrambled eggs across one half of each tortilla.
- Sprinkle crumbled bacon and shredded cheese evenly over the eggs, ensuring complete coverage.
- Carefully fold the empty tortilla half over the filling, creating a half-moon shape with sealed edges.
- Heat a clean skillet over medium flame, allowing the surface to warm gradually.
- Gently place the filled quesadillas into the skillet, cooking each side until the exterior turns a rich, toasted golden brown and the cheese melts completely.
- Remove from heat and slice into wedges using a sharp knife.
- Accompany the quesadillas with vibrant salsa, cool sour cream, and creamy guacamole for dipping and garnishing.
Notes
- Use thick-cut bacon for extra crunch and robust flavor that holds up well inside the quesadilla.
- Grate fresh cheese instead of pre-shredded for better melting and richer taste.
- Experiment with different protein options like chorizo, ham, or shredded chicken to customize the breakfast quesadilla.
- Add diced bell peppers or jalapeños for extra texture and a spicy kick that elevates the morning meal.
