I love a good savory breakfast meal, and these breakfast quesadillas do not disappoint! Especially when you can pile on all the yummy toppings. This is the perfect meal for serving to guests because they can pick their toppings and it makes everyone happy. Make big fluffy German pancakes, my Grandma’s pancakes, and these cute little omelet muffins the next time you have guests. You can really be creative with toppings for these recipes!
The Best Breakfast Quesadillas
When you take one bite of these breakfast quesadillas, you’ll know why I mean THE BEST! These cheesy quesadillas are packed with flavor first thing in the morning. The added protein from the eggs and bacon will keep you satisfied and are a great start to your day. These breakfast quesadillas are a great way to load on healthy veggies. Quesadillas are so versatile and you can make them just how you like them! Sometimes I sneak in spinach and peppers for my kids. As long as they get to dip their breakfast in salsa and sour cream, they don’t seem to care! You can also serve these with homemade guacamole, salsa, or my easy Mexican rice if you really want to fill their bellies before school.
Ingredients Needed For Quesadillas
With a few simple ingredients! You most likely already have them on hand, so breakfast quesadillas can happen first thing in the morning! You’ll always want to have these ingredients on hand so you can make them! Your family will love you when they wake up to these.
Bacon: Bacon for breakfast is so yummy! You can use sausage or turkey bacon if you prefer. Eggs: Eggs for scrambling. Milk: A little bit of milk will make the eggs creamy. I use whole milk but you can use any milk. Salt: Flavor to taste. Pepper: I like using cracked black pepper. Cumin: I love the addition of this Mexican spice. Garlic Powder: Adds great flavor to the eggs. Onion Powder: Adds a subtle onion flavor without being overpowering. Flour Tortillas: I love using flour tortillas but corn is great too! Shredded Cheese: Mexican cheese blend is best with all the Mexican flavors in the quesadillas. Salsa: For serving on the side. Sour Cream: For serving on the side. Avocado: Sliced for serving.
Let’s Make Breakfast Quesadillas
These breakfast quesadillas are really very easy to make. You can get the whole family involved by giving everyone an assignment. While someone cooks the bacon, somone else can scramble the eggs. Then let everyone else get all the toppings ready! A great weekend breakfast for all to help and enjoy.
In the Refrigerator: Place leftovers in an airtight container or sealable bag. Store in the fridge for up to 3 days. I like to separate them with paper towels to help them not get soggy. In the Freezer: Wrap the quesadillas individually in parchment paper then place them in a freezer-safe Ziploc bag or sealable container. Make sure to lay them flat in the freezer. Store in the freezer for up to 3 months. To Reheat: You can reheat them in the microwave but the tortilla will become soft. To keep the crisp outside, reheat the quesadilla in the air fryer or the oven. Cook at 350° Fahrenheit for about 3 minutes in the air fryer or 10 minutes in the oven.
Cheese: You can use any cheese or any combination of cheeses. I prefer Colby Jack, but for a kick use pepper jack! Meat: I used bacon in my quesadillas, but feel free to use sausage, ham, or chorizo. Switch the meat any way you like. Add Some Heat: I love adding jalapenos or red pepper flakes to make it spicy! Veggies: Sneak in some nutrients by adding veggies like corn, bell peppers, or onions. Dipping Options: Serve with salsa verde, sour cream, or guacamole on the side for dipping!
