Description
Cheese and Egg Breakfast Quesadillas are a delightful way to start your day. They are cheesy, fluffy, and packed with flavor, perfect for busy mornings or leisurely brunches.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1 cup diced bell peppers (any color)(optional)
- 1/2 cup diced onions(optional)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (for cooking)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them until well combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onions and bell peppers. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes, or until the onions are translucent and the peppers are tender. Remove the vegetables from the skillet and set them aside.
- In the same skillet, add the whisked eggs. Cook, stirring gently, until the eggs are scrambled and just set, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the sautéed vegetables, cheddar cheese, and mozzarella cheese until well combined.
- Place a tortilla in the skillet over medium heat. Spoon a generous amount of the egg and cheese mixture onto one half of the tortilla. Fold the other half over to create a half-moon shape.
- Add another tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet if needed. Cook the quesadilla for about 3-4 minutes on one side, or until golden brown and crispy. Carefully flip the quesadilla and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes on the other side.
- Remove the cooked quesadilla from the skillet and keep it warm. Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas and filling. Cut the quesadillas into wedges and serve warm.
Notes
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- For longer storage, wrap each quesadilla tightly in plastic wrap and place them in a freezer bag.
- To reheat, place the quesadilla in a skillet over low heat until warmed through.
