Ingredients:
For the Quesadillas:
- 4 flour tortillas (large size)
- 4 large eggs
- 1/2 cup milk (optional, for fluffier eggs)
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or a blend)
- 1/2 cup cooked or sausage (optional, crumbled or chopped)
- 1/4 cup diced bell peppers (optional)
- 1/4 cup diced onions (optional)
- 1/4 cup sliced mushrooms (optional)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter (for cooking)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh cilantro or green onions for garnish (optional)
For Serving (optional):
- Salsa
- Sour cream
- Guacamole
- Hot sauce
Instructions:
- Prepare the Filling:
In a bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them together with the milk (if using), salt, and pepper. In a skillet, heat a little oil or butter over medium heat. Add any optional vegetables like bell peppers, onions, or mushrooms, and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Add the egg mixture and cook, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are scrambled and fully cooked. Remove from heat. - Assemble the Quesadillas:
Lay out your tortillas on a flat surface. On one half of each tortilla, sprinkle some shredded cheese, followed by a scoop of scrambled eggs. Add any optional cooked or sausage. Top with a little more cheese, then fold the tortilla in half to create a half-moon shape. - Cook the Quesadillas:
Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly coat with butter or oil. Place the filled tortillas in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy, and the cheese is melted inside. You can press down lightly on the quesadilla with a spatula to help it crisp up. - Serve:
Once the quesadillas are done, remove them from the skillet and let them cool for a minute. Slice into wedges and serve with your favorite brunch sides like salsa, sour cream, guacamole, or hot sauce. Garnish with fresh cilantro or green onions if desired.
These Brunch Quesadillas are versatile, easy to make, and customizable with your favorite breakfast ingredients. They’re perfect for a relaxed brunch or even as a satisfying lunch or dinner. Enjoy!
