Breakfast Quesadillas Eggs Bacon (Print Format)

Eggs, bacon, and sausage fill crispy tortillas with cheese and peppers for a satisfying morning bite.

# Ingredients:

→ Filling

01 - 6 large eggs
02 - 1/4 cup heavy cream or whole milk
03 - 8 slices thin bacon
04 - 6 sausage links or 1/4 pound ground sausage
05 - 1/2 cup onions, diced
06 - 1/2 cup red pepper, diced
07 - 2 jalapeños, seeded and diced
08 - 2 cups shredded cheese

→ Tortillas & Cooking

09 - 8 (6-inch) flour tortillas
10 - 2 tablespoons butter
11 - Pico de gallo (optional)

# Steps:

01 - In a bowl, whisk eggs and heavy cream until fully mixed.
02 - In a large skillet, cook bacon until desired crispness. Remove and place on a paper towel to drain.
03 - Remove excess fat from the skillet. Add sausage links or ground sausage, cook until done, and remove to drain on a paper towel.
04 - Add onions and red peppers to the skillet and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Remove and set aside.
05 - Wipe the skillet clean with a paper towel. Heat over medium-low and add 1 tablespoon of butter. Pour in the whisked eggs, cooking and stirring continuously over medium heat until fluffy and set. Remove and set aside.
06 - Return skillet to medium heat and butter one side of a tortilla. Place the tortilla butter side down in the skillet. Leave a 1/2-inch border around the edge, add 1/2 cup shredded cheese, scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, peppers, and onions. Add another pinch of cheese, if desired.
07 - Place another buttered tortilla on top, buttered side up. Cook for 2-3 minutes, then carefully flip using a metal spatula. Cook an additional 2-3 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
08 - Cut the quesadilla into fourths using a pizza cutter or chef's knife. Serve with pico de gallo, if desired.

# Tips:

01 - To freeze: After cooking and assembly, place quartered quesadillas on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and flash-freeze for 1-2 hours. Transfer to a freezer bag once frozen.
02 - To reheat: Warm in a toaster oven until heated through, or microwave for 30-45 seconds.
