Let’s face it, mornings can be chaotic. Between getting yourself ready, packing lunches, and ushering kids out the door, breakfast sometimes takes a backseat. But what if I told you that a delicious and satisfying breakfast could be on your table in under 10 minutes?
This is where the magic of breakfast quesadillas comes in. Inspired by my own childhood memories of enjoying this delightful dish in Mexico, I’m thrilled to share my simple and customizable recipe with you. These quesadillas are the perfect way to fuel your morning, whether you’re a quesadilla enthusiast or simply looking for a quick and easy breakfast option.
Ingredients You’ll Need:
- 2 eggs
- 1 tablespoon butter (feel free to substitute with olive oil or cooking spray)
- 2 flour tortillas (burrito size for extra filling)
- 1/3 cup shredded cheese (Colby jack or cheddar blends work best)
Step-by-Step Guide to Quesadilla Bliss:
Step 1: Create Fluffy Scrambled Eggs
- Whisk your eggs in a bowl, adding a splash of milk or half-and-half for extra richness.
- Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat.
- Pour in the eggs and let them cook undisturbed until the edges begin to set.
- Gently stir with a spatula until they’re cooked through but still slightly glossy.
Step 2: Prepare Your Tortilla Canvas:
- In the same skillet, melt a thin layer of butter over medium heat.
- Place one tortilla in the skillet and sprinkle with a generous handful of cheese.
Step 3: Assemble and Sizzle:
- Evenly spread the fluffy scrambled eggs over the cheesy tortilla base.
- Add another sprinkle of cheese – because more cheese is always a good idea!
- Top with the second tortilla.
- Cook for a couple of minutes until the bottom tortilla is golden brown and slightly crispy.
- Don’t overcook, or you’ll lose that soft, gooey center!
- Add a touch more butter to the skillet if needed, then carefully flip the quesadilla to brown the other side.
Step 4: Slice, Serve, and Savor!
- Once both sides are beautifully golden, transfer your masterpiece to a cutting board.
- Allow it to rest for a minute or two, allowing the cheese to get extra melty.
- Slice into triangles and serve immediately.
Tips and Tricks from Robert Kline Art:
- Feel free to get creative with the fillings! Add some diced ham, sautéed veggies, or a dollop of salsa for an extra kick.
- For a vegetarian twist, substitute the eggs with black beans or your favorite sauteed mushrooms.
