Breakfast Quesadilla

breakfast quesadilla

While we were in Hilton Head over the weekend we went to brunch at a place called Skillets and I had the best breakfast quesadilla there. So I decided to try and recreate what they served. I made them for dinner tonight and they were so yummy! So I thought I would hop on and share how I did it!

Ingredients:

6 slices of bacon

1 8 oz package of mini cubed ham

1 small yellow onion

1 green pepper

1 TBS butter

6 eggs

1 cup taco blend shredded cheese

4 slices sharp cheddar cheese

4 Mission Burrito Flour Tortillas

Salt and pepper to taste

Directions:

  1. Cook bacon in a large sauté pan and set aside on a plate with a paper towel. Discard bacon grease and use the same pan to sauté ham.
  2. Sauté ham until crispy and slightly browned and set aside. About 4-5 minutes.
  3. Dice onion and green pepper
  4. Sauté onion and green pepper with a 1/2 TBS butter until onions are translucent and peppers are slightly browned. Season with salt and pepper.
  5. While that mixture is cooking crumble the bacon into small pieces. Set pepper and onion mix aside.
  6. Whisk eggs in a bowl and pour into a smaller sauté pan with 1/2 TBS of butter over medium high heat. You can either scramble them or just let the egg cook and then flip over to cook all the way through.
  7. Preheat oven to 200.
  8. Wipe out the large sauté pan.
  9. In the large sauté pan spray your tortillas with cooking spray on one side and place over medium high heat.
  10. Place a slice of cheddar cheese cut in half on one side of the tortilla.
  11. Cut up eggs into 4 pieces with a pizza cutter. Place the egg on top of the cheese.
  12. Sprinkle with cubed ham and crumbled bacon. Top with the onion and pepper mixture.
  13. Then sprinkle with taco blend shredded cheese. Fold over the tortilla.
  14. When building your quesadilla only add the ingredients to one side of the tortilla so it’s easier to fold over.
  15. Press down with large omelette spatula to melt the cheese. Carefully flip it over and cook until it’s slightly brown on the edges.
  16. Plate the quesadilla and use a pizza cutter to cut the quesadilla into 4 pieces.
  17. Once your oven is preheated place your plate on the rack to keep the quesadilla warm while you’re making the remaining quesadillas.
  18. After all 4 quesadillas are done take them out of the oven. Be careful because the plates will be very hot. Note: Use oven safe dinner plates to do this.
