Ingredients
  

  • 2 large flour tortillas burrito-sized
  • 4 large eggs
  • ¼ cup milk
  • ½ cup shredded cheese cheddar, Monterey Jack, or blend
  • ½ cup cooked breakfast meat bacon, sausage, or ham, chopped
  • ¼ cup diced bell peppers
  • ¼ cup diced onions
  • 1 tablespoon butter for eggs
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter for crisping tortillas
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Chop your vegetables and cook your breakfast meat (if not already cooked).

  • In a bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until smooth.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a pan over medium heat.
  • Pour in the eggs and let them sit for about 30 seconds before gently stirring.
  • Cook, stirring occasionally, until just set but still soft (they’ll cook a bit more in the quesadilla). Remove from heat.

  • Add the scrambled eggs, breakfast meat, and veggies on top.
  • Sprinkle the remaining cheese to help everything stick together.
  • Fold the tortilla in half, pressing lightly.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil or butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
  • Place the quesadilla in the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes until golden and crispy.
  • Carefully flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the cheese is melted.
  • Remove from the pan and let it sit for 1 minute before slicing.
  • Cut into triangles and serve warm with salsa, sour cream, or avocado.
  • Dig in and enjoy the perfect crispy, cheesy breakfast!
