A nice change from the usual, sandwich those scrambled eggs between flour tortillas along with some cheese, ham, sausage or bacon, and you have a great breakfast quesadilla.
Breakfast Quesadilla
I don't know why but I had a taste for a quesadilla this morning.
I happened to have some nice deli ham on hand, but these are great with cooked and crumbled sausage or bacon, or deli turkey.
Serve with a side of fruit - I had a banana - and a bit of chunky salsa and a dab of sour cream or Greek yogurt on the side for dipping and this will feed two, or one very hungry adult. One half of it was plenty filling for me.
Here's how to make one.
To start, soft scramble some eggs in butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. You want the eggs to be slightly wet because they'll continue to cook in the tortilla and you don't want them to be dried out and overcooked. Remove the eggs from the skillet, top with a little more butter and set them aside.
Wipe out the pan and melt the remaining butter over medium heat.
Lay one tortilla in the skillet.
Tear one slice of the cheese of your choice and scatter it about, or use the shredded cheese you happen to have on hand.
Top with a slice of deli ham or turkey, cooked sausage or cooked crumbled bacon. These are also really good with leftover cooked shrimp or crabmeat too, by the way.
Scatter the scrambled eggs on top of the ham.
And tear the remaining cheese and scatter that about on top of the eggs.
Top with the second tortilla and turn the heat up to medium high. Cook until the bottom is crispy and golden brown; turn and brown the other side. A wide spatula or long fish spatula is great for this.
Remove to a cutting board and let rest for a moment so everything settles.
Slice in half and then in quarters, top with garnishes and serve with a side of fruit.
