How to Make a Breakfast Quesadilla

Breakfast quesadillas are oozing with flavor and are perfect for keeping you full all morning long. The fluffy eggs, crisp bacon, green peppers, and melty cheese create an irresistible combo when wrapped in a tortilla shell.

Here’s an overview of how this quick and easy recipe is made:

1. First you’ll start by whisking the eggs and milk together.
2. Add in the green pepper and then stir to combine.
3. Add butter to a heated skillet and cook the eggs until soft.
4. Place one tortilla onto the same skillet, top with shredded cheese, followed by the eggs, bacon, and more cheese.
5. Place the second tortilla on top of the egg mixture and lightly press down to seal. Heat for 2-3 minutes on both sides, or until cheese is melted.

Can I Make These Vegetarian?

Absolutely! Omit the bacon and use your favorite type of bean instead.

Can I Freeze Breakfast Quesadillas?

Yes!Here’s how to freeze breakfast quesadillas for later:

1. Assemble the quesadillas, then let them cool completely.
2. Once cooled, place them on a parchment paper-lined baking tray and freeze until hard (about 1 to 2 hours).
3. Transfer the hardered quesadillas to a freezer bag and freeze up to 3 months.
4. When ready to eat, warm (from frozen) in the oven or a toaster oven at 350F until heated through.

Recipe Variatons to Try

I love this breakfast quesadilla recipe because it’s so easy to customize depending on your tastes.

Since the hubster and I love scrambled eggs, bacon, green peppers, and cheese, those were my go-to ingredients for this dish. But, if you prefer sausage, add it in!

Hate green peppers? Leave those out. Like feta? Throw it in! The possibilities are endless.

• Switch up the veggies! Mushrooms, red bell peppers, spinach, and/or onions would make a delicious addition.
• Experiment with different spices! Garlic powder, seasoning salt, Italian seasoning, thyme…the possibilites are endless.
• Don’t forget the cheese! Mozzarella, Cheddar Jack or Feta would be so tasty.
• Add more meat! Swap out the bacon with breakfast sausage, add some chorizo or diced ham.

• Turkey Egg Cups
• Herb Baked Eggs
• Marinara Baked Eggs
• Fried Egg Avocado Toast
