    🥘 Breakfast Quesadillas Ingredients

    This ingredient list can be pretty versatile, as you can easily customize it with your favorite additions! Switch up the kind of cheese, add some spices, or toss in some sauteed veggies, it is really up to you!

    • Bacon - 1 slice of bacon. I won't judge you if you want to add some more! If you aren't a bacon fan, you can easily swap this out for a different protein of your choice, such as ham or sausage.
    • Shredded Hashbrowns - ¼ cup of hashbrowns. You can use fresh hashbrowns or ones that have been thawed from frozen.
    • Eggs - 2 large eggs.
    • Chives - ½ tablespoon of freeze-dried chives.
    • Salt & Pepper - A pinch of both salt and pepper.
    • Tortillas - 2 large flour tortillas. You'll want the ones that are burrito-size or about 8 inches in diameter.
    • Shredded Cheese - ¼ cup of shredded cheese. I recommend using either Mozzarella, Mexican, or cheddar.

    🔪 How To Make Breakfast Quesadillas

    These quesadillas come together in a snap and are super easy to whip up! You'll want to have a medium-sized skillet, a spatula, and a whisk to get started.

    This recipe is for just 1 breakfast quesadilla, so you can easily double it, triple it, or more depending on how many you need to prepare!

    1. Cook bacon and hashbrowns. Place a medium-sized skillet over medium heat and cook 1 slice of bacon (or ham or sausage) until nice and crispy. Transfer it to a plate, wipe the grease from the skillet if desired, and then brown ¼ cup of hashbrowns with either the bacon grease or ½ tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil. Move the browned hashbrowns to the same plate and reduce the heat to low.
    2. Whisk the eggs. In a small cup, bowl, or measuring cup, whisk together 2 large eggs, a pinch of both salt and pepper, and ½ tablespoon of chives. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and swirl it so that the eggs cover the entire bottom of the pan.
    3. Cook and flip. Cook the eggs over low heat until they are almost completely cooked. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of shredded cheese over the eggs and then place one tortilla on top. Use a large spatula to flip the entire thing over.
    4. Add remaining toppings. Add the remaining cheese (about 2 tablespoons, or to taste), the cooked bacon, and the browned hash browns over the egg, and add the second tortilla.
    5. Serve. Cook until the tortilla has browned, flip, and brown the second side. Serve immediately.

    Serve your breakfast quesadilla with some salsa roja, tabasco, or sour cream! If you want a sweeter breakfast addition, try out some air fryer cinnamon roll bites. Enjoy!

    💭 Angela's Tips & Recipe Notes

    • Feel free to use bacon, ham, sausage, or a combination of the three!
    • Make a big batch of these quesadillas so that you can store them in the freezer for a quick and easy breakfast option whenever you like!
    • Use a pizza cutter for an extra easy way to cut your quesadillas!
