5-Minute Breakfast Quesadilla Recipe

Ingredients

• 4 slices Bacon (regular pork bacon, one slice per quesadilla)
• 6 large eggs Large Eggs (for 4 quesadillas, about 1.5 eggs each)
• 0.5 tsp Salt (regular table salt)
• 0.25 tsp Black Pepper (ground black pepper)
• 2 tbsp Milk (optional, adds fluffiness to eggs)
• 8 oz Sharp Cheddar Cheese (hand shredded for best melt)
• 4 tortillas Flour Tortillas (large burrito‑size, about 10‑inch diameter)

Instructions

1. Cook Bacon

   Heat a non‑stick skillet over medium‑high heat and add the 4 slices of bacon. Cook until crisp, flipping once.

   Time: PT8M

   Temperature: medium‑high heat

2. Whisk Eggs

   In a mixing bowl, crack the 6 large eggs, add 0.5 tsp salt, 0.25 tsp pepper, and optional 2 tbsp milk. Whisk until fully combined and slightly frothy.

   Time: PT5M

3. Remove Excess Grease

   Transfer the cooked bacon to a paper‑towel‑lined plate. Use additional paper towels to blot the skillet, leaving just enough bacon grease to scramble the eggs.

   Time: PT1M

4. Scramble Eggs

   Reduce heat to medium‑low and pour the whisked eggs into the skillet. Stir constantly with a spatula, scraping the bottom, until the eggs are softly set but still slightly runny. Remove from heat.

   Time: PT4M

   Temperature: medium‑low heat

5. Chop Bacon

   While the eggs rest, roughly chop the crispy bacon into bite‑size pieces on a cutting board.

   Time: PT2M

6. Shred Cheese

   Hand shred 8 oz of sharp cheddar cheese. Set aside in a bowl.

   Time: PT3M

7. Assemble Quesadillas

   Lay a tortilla flat, sprinkle a thin layer of shredded cheese on one half, add a quarter of the egg‑bacon mixture, then top with another light layer of cheese. Fold the tortilla in half and gently press to seal.

   Time: PT5M

8. Preheat Griddle

   Plug in the griddle and set to medium‑high heat. Allow it to warm for about 3 minutes before adding the quesadillas.

   Time: PT3M

   Temperature: medium‑high heat

9. Cook First Batch

   Place two assembled quesadillas on the hot griddle. Cook 2–3 minutes until the bottom is golden‑brown, then flip and cook another 1–2 minutes until the cheese melts and the top is crisp.

   Time: PT5M

   Temperature: medium‑high heat

10. Cook Second Batch

    Repeat the process with the remaining two quesadillas, adjusting time as needed (usually 2 minutes first side, 1 minute second side).

    Time: PT5M

    Temperature: medium‑high heat

11. Rest, Cut, Serve

    Transfer cooked quesadillas to a cutting board, let cool 2 minutes, then cut each into thirds. Serve warm with salsa or your favorite dip.

    Time: PT2M
