→ Tortillas & Cooking
09 -
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
10 -
8 (6-inch) soft flour tortillas
11 -
Optional: some pico de gallo
# Steps:
01 -
Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl, pour in the milk or cream, and whisk until they look smooth and blended.
02 -
Use a large skillet to cook the bacon to your preferred crispiness. Place them onto paper towels to absorb the grease.
03 -
Set the pan back to medium heat and cook the sausage until it's fully browned. Drain on a paper towel once done.
04 -
In the same skillet, toss in the diced onions and peppers. Stir and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened. Take them out and set aside.
05 -
Clean the skillet with paper towels and heat it over low-medium heat. Add a tablespoon of butter, then pour in the whisked eggs. Stir gently and cook until fluffy and set, then set them aside.
06 -
Put the skillet on medium heat and butter one side of a tortilla. Place the buttered side down in the skillet, then spread 1/2 cup of shredded cheese, scrambled eggs, bacon pieces, sausage, onions, and peppers. If you like, sprinkle on a bit more cheese before adding the top tortilla.
07 -
Butter the side of the second tortilla facing up, then cook the quesadilla for 2-3 minutes. Use a metal spatula to carefully flip it over. Let it cook another 2-3 minutes until the outside is golden and crisp.
08 -
Slice the quesadilla into four pieces with a pizza cutter or knife. If you'd like, serve with pico de gallo on the side.
# Notes and Tips:
01 -
For freezing: Once quesadillas are cooked and cut, place them on a tray with parchment paper and freeze for 1-2 hours. Then move them to a freezer-safe bag.

Reheating tip: Pop them into a toaster oven until they're hot, or microwave for 30-45 seconds.
