This breakfast quesadilla is packed full of eggs, bacon, and cheese for a protein-rich breakfast or lunch that will keep you full for hours. The quesadilla is loaded up with freshly scrambled eggs, crispy bacon, cheese, and green onions. It's also easy to customize!
Quesadillas are always so delicious. Random things in a tortilla with cheese? Yes, please. I love making things like pepperoni pizza quesadillas, or bean and cheese air fryer quesadillas. But this loaded breakfast quesadilla is something special. It is protein-packed with scrambled eggs, bacon, and cheese so I can eat one of these breakfast quesadillas and be full until lunch.
The breakfast quesadilla is easy to make too! I just grab 2 tortillas (I like whole wheat, but feel free to use whatever kind you prefer), scramble two eggs, cook some bacon, cut up some green onion, shred some cheese, and then put it all together.
The quesadilla can be pretty much all made in one pan, too. That means less dirty dishes, which is always a win in my book. I love meals that only use one skillet, and this breakfast quesadilla checks that box!
Ingredients:
- Eggs
- Bacon
- Green onions
- Shredded cheddar cheese
- Tortillas
- Butter
- Olive oil
- Salsa or avocado (optional)
Tips and tricks:
- Instead of cooking one tortilla on top of another.. the way a regular quesadilla is made, I like to just use one quesadilla for each and fold it in half. I find it is MUCH easier to flip that way. Less chance of those precious breakfast quesadilla ingredients falling out!
- I don't specify what type of cheese to use in this recipe, so use whatever you like that will be nice and melty! Monterey jack and cheddar both work great. I'd stay away from parmesan and mozzarella. I use a sharp cheddar cheese when I make this.
- I drizzled mine with Herdez Guacamole Salsa. I love that stuff! Would be great with just some avocado, guacamole, or regular salsa too.
