Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 4–6 strips of thick-cut or thin-cut bacon
  • 3 large fresh eggs
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 2 medium-sized flour tortillas (or whole wheat for a healthier option)
  • 1–2 tablespoons butter or oil for cooking
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Cook the Bacon: Begin by cooking your bacon strips in a skillet over medium heat until they are crispy but not burnt. Once cooked, drain on a paper towel to remove excess grease and chop into bite-sized pieces.
  2. Scramble the Eggs: In a bowl, whisk the eggs lightly with a pinch of salt and pepper. Pour into a warm, lightly buttered pan and cook over medium-low heat, stirring gently until fluffy and just set. Remove from heat before they get too dry.
  3. Assemble the Quesadillas: Lay one tortilla flat in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Sprinkle half the shredded cheese evenly across the tortilla, followed by the scrambled eggs and chopped bacon. Top with the remaining cheese and cover with another tortilla.
  4. Cook Until Golden: Cook the quesadilla for about 3-4 minutes per side, pressing lightly with a spatula. Flip carefully to ensure both sides turn golden and the cheese inside melts perfectly.
  5. Serve Warm: Remove from heat, slice into wedges, and enjoy immediately with your favorite toppings or sides.

Notes

  • Don’t overload the filling; too much can make flipping tricky and the tortillas soggy.
  • Use medium heat to prevent burning while allowing cheese to melt and tortilla to crisp.
  • Let quesadilla rest for a minute before cutting to let the cheese set slightly for clean slices.
  • Place cheese on both tortillas to help seal the filling inside perfectly.
  • Use a good-quality non-stick skillet for easier cooking and flipping without additional oil.
