  • Sprinkle on remaining cheese and top with remaining tortilla. Cook for about 1 minute or until cheese starts to melt, then CAREFULLY flip (you don't want all the egg falling out).

Notes

Recipe tips

  • Bacon, breakfast sausage, and diced ham all work great in this recipe.
  • Hand shredded cheese from a block melts better and keeps the ingredients within the quesadilla when eating.
  • Serve with salsa, sour cream, and/or guacamole.
