These easy breakfast quesadillas take just minutes to make and they’re filling and satisfying. What a great way to start your day!

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 3 eggs
  • 2 slices American cheese
  • 1 flour tortilla 10 inch size

Instructions

  1. Whisk together the eggs in a medium bowl
  2. Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a skillet over medium-low heat. Add the cooks and use a rubber spatula to gently scrape the bottom of the skillet to form large, soft curds. Continue until cooked to your liking and then remove the scrambled eggs from the heat and place in a bowl.
  3. Spray the skillet with cooking spray or add a light drizzle of cooking oil, then place the tortilla in the skillet. Increase heat to medium-high and let cook just until the bottom starts to slightly brown (about 30 to 60 seconds).
  4. Use a spatula to flip the tortilla. Add the cheese and eggs and then fold the tortilla over into a half-moon shape.
  5. When the first side is browned to your liking, flip and cook the second side.
  6. Remove from the heat, slice the quesadilla and enjoy!

Notes

  • Scrambled egg and cheese quesadillas are my standard but you can add chopped bacon, ham, bell peppers, onion, chives, and anything else you want. Use your imagination!
  • These breakfast quesadillas are great for meal planning. Make a big batch and store them in the fridge to enjoy them all week.
  • Any good melting cheese will work in this recipe, but I like either sliced American or shredded cheddar or Colby Jack.
