Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 large flour tortillas cut in half
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup cooked breakfast sausage or bacon crumbled
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar or Mexican blend cheese
  • 1 tbsp milk or cream optional, for fluffier eggs
  • 1 tbsp butter or oil for cooking eggs
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Cooking spray or oil for pan

Method
 

  1. Prep the Eggs: In a bowl, whisk eggs with milk, salt, and pepper. Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat, then scramble eggs until just set. Remove from heat.
  2. Assemble Quesadillas: Place a halved tortilla on a flat surface. Add a spoonful of scrambled egg, some sausage or bacon, and a sprinkle of cheese on one side. Fold over into a triangle.
  3. Cook: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with oil or spray. Cook quesadillas 2–3 minutes per side until golden and crispy.
  4. Serve: Slice if desired, and serve with your favorite dipping sauces or sides.

Notes

Mini Breakfast Quesadillas – Helpful Tips

Cooking Tips & Techniques
Use small (6-inch or street taco-sized) tortillas for perfect handheld quesadillas.
Pre-cook your fillings like scrambled eggs, sausage, or bacon before assembling — this keeps the texture just right.
Shred cheese fresh for the best melt and flavor — cheddar, Monterey Jack, or pepper jack work great.
Assemble on a flat surface, fold in half, and press lightly before toasting in a skillet or griddle.
Cook over medium heat with just a touch of butter or oil — flip once golden and crisp.
Serving Suggestions
Serve with salsa, guacamole, sour cream, or hot sauce on the side for dipping.
Pair with fresh fruit, hash browns, or a smoothie for a well-rounded breakfast.
Great for school mornings, brunch platters, or make-ahead meal prep.
Pack them into lunchboxes or wrap in foil for breakfast on the go.
Make a quesadilla bar for guests with toppings like jalapeños, onions, and avocado.
Make-Ahead & Storage
Make-Ahead: Assemble uncooked quesadillas and refrigerate up to 1 day before cooking.
Refrigerator: Store cooked quesadillas in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Freezer: Freeze individually wrapped quesadillas (cooked or uncooked) for up to 2 months.
Reheat: Reheat in a skillet or air fryer for crispy results; microwave for a softer texture.
Tasty Variations to Try
Southwest Style: Add black beans, bell peppers, and pepper jack cheese.
Meat-Free Option: Use plant-based sausage or just eggs, cheese, and veggies.
Loaded Bacon & Avocado: Add crispy bacon and sliced avocado after cooking for a deluxe finish.
Spicy Kick: Mix in diced jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce into the eggs.
Sweet & Savory: Try ham, brie, and a hint of maple syrup for a gourmet twist.
