Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 6 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup milk (any kind)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter
  • 8 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled (or 1/2 cup diced ham/sausage)
  • 1/2 cup diced bell pepper (any color)
  • 1/4 cup diced onio
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, or a Mexican blend
  • 4-6 medium flour tortillas (8-10 inch)
  • Optional toppings: salsa, sour cream, avocado, chopped cilantro

Method
 

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  2. Heat olive oil or butter in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the diced bell pepper and onion. Sauté for 3-5 minutes, until they soften slightly.
  3. Pour the whisked egg mixture into the skillet with the vegetables. Scramble the eggs, stirring frequently, until they are cooked through but still moist. Remove from skillet and set aside.
  4. Wipe the skillet clean if necessary. Place one tortilla in the skillet over medium heat. Sprinkle about 1/4 cup of shredded cheese evenly over the entire tortilla.
  5. On one half of the tortilla, layer about 1/4 of the scrambled egg mixture, 1/4 of the crumbled bacon, and a little more cheese.
  6. Let the tortilla cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese on the bottom has melted and the tortilla starts to become golden brown. Carefully fold the empty half of the tortilla over the filled half.
  7. Press down gently with a spatula. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, then carefully flip the quesadilla and cook the other side until golden brown and crispy.
  8. Remove the finished quesadilla from the skillet and place it on a cutting board. Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas and fillings.
  9. Cut each quesadilla into wedges and serve immediately with your favorite toppings.

Notes

Do not overcrowd the skillet when cooking the eggs. Pre-cook your fillings to avoid sogginess. Use medium heat for the best results.
