For those who lean towards savory morning meals, this breakfast quesadilla offers a delightful alternative to sweeter options. Instead of a traditional tortilla, this quesadilla features a shell crafted entirely from melted cheese. The cheese is cooked to achieve a pliable texture, perfect for folding and encasing your favorite fillings.
Designed with breakfast in mind, this cheese-based quesadilla is generously filled with crispy bacon strips and two perfectly cooked eggs, finished with a sprinkle of fresh cilantro. Alongside the quesadilla, a medley of grilled vegetables adds a vibrant and flavorful element. The vegetables are seasoned with a hint of Southern-inspired spices, complementing the savory main course.
These quesadillas can be conveniently stored in the refrigerator and reheated in the microwave. For optimal freshness, store them in airtight containers for up to three days. If you prefer to keep the vegetables separate, they can be stored for up to five days.
Feel free to customize this recipe to suit your preferences by substituting ingredients and adding your personal touch. If you're looking to replace the bacon, consider using turkey bacon or thinly sliced turkey breast. Cooked shredded chicken also works well as a substitute.
Given the inclusion of eggs, it's best to keep any additional protein light. Consider adding avocado slices, cucumber slices, or sliced bell peppers for a non-protein boost. If runny eggs aren't your preference, don't hesitate to adapt the recipe.
Scrambled eggs work just as well. You can prepare them as a solid omelet or scramble them into smaller pieces. Simply add the scrambled eggs to one half of the quesadilla along with the bacon.
Then, fold the quesadilla as directed for a delicious scrambled egg breakfast that's sure to satisfy.
