Breakfast Quesadillas

Breakfast Quesadillas
We eat a ton of egg in our house. With six chickens producing 5-6 eggs a day. We usually have an over abundance. Luckily my family doesn’t mind having breakfast for dinner often. I try to switch up the way I prepare breakfast type meals at dinner. Which is precisely how my breakfast quesadillas were born. My family devours these they’re so delicious. Sometimes I put black beans in them and a little barbecue sauce to switch it up. It’s easy to customize these for individual tastebuds too. Sometimes I like to let everyone make their own to get my boys cooking.

This version is similar to a denver style type omelet which is my second favorite omelet. In case you’re wondering a veggie omelet is my absolute favorite. Loaded into this quesadilla is everything you could want on your breakfast plate.

One of the best parts of this recipe is the minimal dirty dish it creates. Sure if you want to cook each individual component at once you can pull out 3-4 pans but do yourself a favor and don’t!

Start by prepping your ingredients like so.  Potatoes, garlic, ham, green peppers & cheese.Breakfast Quesadillas ~ Our Full Table #breakfastBreakfast Quesadillas ~ Our Full Table #breakfast

Dont forget the eggs! Whisk together about two per person.

Start by cooking your potatoes first. In a skillet over medium-high heat cook the garlic for 30 seconds or so in some olive oil. Then toss in your potatoes. Season to your liking. I always enjoy the fresh cracked black pepper, sea salt & garlic powder. Cook them till they’re fork tender.

Cook for 4 mins or so just enough time for the peppers to get a little color. Dont forget to season again!

Add your eggs to the skillet and turn the heat down to medium. You don’t want to burn the eggs. Gently stir them till they’re cooked. Season with salt & pepper. Breakfast Quesadillas Our Full Table #breakfast Breakfast Quesadillas Our Full Table #breakfast

Now its time to assemble. I like to use my electric flat top griddle but you could use another non stick pan if you’d like. I make sure my griddle is set to 350 degrees or medium high heat. Lay down a tortilla of a few drops of olive oil. Toss on a handful of cheese and potatoes. Breakfast Quesadillas Our Full Table #breakfast
Top with the scrambled egg mixture and some more cheese. :) Pretend like there is more cheese in the photo below. Cheese makes me happy. How about you? Breakfast Quesadillas ~ Our Full Table #breakfast
Let the tortilla cook like so till its nice and crispy brown. Fold over and let rest so everything can set up. Serve with your favorite dipping sauce I love ketchup with a squirt of Sriracha. :)
