Description
Bacon Egg Cheese Quesadillas are a delightful fusion of crispy tortillas filled with fluffy scrambled eggs, savory bacon, and melted cheese. Each bite offers a satisfying crunch followed by a creamy, cheesy richness that tantalizes the taste buds.
Ingredients
- Tortillas: 4 large flour tortillas
- Eggs: 4 large eggs, beaten
- Bacon: 6 strips of bacon, cooked and crumbled
- Cheese: 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- Butter: 2 tablespoons, for cooking
- Salt: to taste
- Pepper: to taste
Instructions
- In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy, about 6-8 minutes. Remove and crumble.
- In the same skillet, add the beaten eggs, season with salt and pepper, and scramble until just set, about 3-4 minutes.
- Lay one tortilla in the skillet and sprinkle half of the cheese on one half of the tortilla.
- Add half of the scrambled eggs and half of the crumbled bacon on top of the cheese.
- Fold the tortilla over to cover the filling and cook for 2-3 minutes until golden brown.
- Flip the quesadilla and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the other side is golden and the cheese is melted.
- Remove from the skillet and repeat with the remaining ingredients.
- Cut into wedges and serve warm.
Notes
