Ingredients needed for breakfast quesadillas

All the ingredients needed for this recipe.
  • Eggs: Fluffy scrambled eggs are the best for this recipe.
  • Bacon: I love crispy bacon, I like the regular cut.
  • Bell peppers– Any combination works great
  • Sausage: Sausage links or about 1/4 pound ground breakfast sausage works great.
  • Cheese: Cheddar, Monterey jack, and mozzarella all work great. just try and shred it yourself the pre-shredded stuff doesn’t melt as well.
  • Tortillas: I like to use the fajita size flour tortillas but the burrito size will also work just put the filling on half of the tortilla and fold it over.

How to make this recipe

Bacon and sausage cooking in a skillet.
  • Step 1: In a large skillet cook bacon until crispy, remove the cooked bacon, and set aside on a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Remove most of the grease.
  • Step 2: In the same skillet cook the sausage until cooked through and set aside.
  • Step 3: Add the eggs and cream to a bowl and whisk.
  • Step 4: In the same pan (or a nonstick skillet) add the butter and let it melt then add in the eggs and cook the eggs until done, remove the pan from the heat, and set aside.
  • Step 5: Add in the diced onions and peppers and cook until soft.
  • Step 6: Heat the pan on medium heat Place a buttered tortilla into the pan and add the cheese.
  • Step 7: Place a layer of scrambled eggs, chopped bacon, sausage, and peppers on top of the cheese.
  • Step 8: Butter a second tortilla and place on top, cook for a couple of minutes then carefully flip the quesadilla and cook until the cheese is melted.

Recipe tips

  • Use a pan that is larger than your tortillas.
  • Use a large spatula for easy flipping.
  • Make vegetarian options by leaving out the meat altogether and adding in some black beans.
  • I prefer heavy whipping cream in my eggs but whole milk will do just fine.
