Scale
Main Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 4 small flour tortillas (6-inch)
- 4 slices bacon or 4 Tbsp bacon bits, divided
- 1 cup cheddar cheese, grated
- 8 Tbsp canola oil, divided
Instructions
- Cook eggs: Heat 4 tablespoons of canola oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Crack 4 eggs into the skillet and fry for about 1 minute on each side or until cooked to your preference. Remove eggs from the skillet and set aside.
- Heat tortillas: In the same skillet, add 2 to 4 tablespoons of oil and heat two of the flour tortillas until lightly toasted.
- Assemble quesadillas: Flip the toasted tortillas and on each toasted side, sprinkle with 1/4 cup of grated cheddar cheese, 1 heaping tablespoon of bacon bits, and 1 cooked egg.
- Toast quesadillas: Fold each tortilla in half and cook on each side for about 30 seconds until the cheese melts and the tortilla is golden and crispy. Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas and ingredients.
- Serve: Serve warm with salsa and sour cream as dipping options.
Notes
- You can halve the recipe by frying 2 eggs in a smaller 8-inch skillet and cooking tortillas one at a time.
- Cut each quesadilla into halves to create 2 wedges for easier serving.
- For crisper tortillas, add a little oil when toasting the folded quesadillas in the pan.
- Bacon bits are a time-saver, but feel free to substitute with cooked sausage, ham, chorizo, or veggies for variation.
- To freeze, assemble quesadillas without toasting, wrap individually in foil, and freeze up to 3 months. Reheat in a 350°F oven for 10-15 minutes.
