Breakfast Quesadillas, Irresistibly Cheesy

Breakfast quesadillas are easy to put together with simple ingredients. Protein packed with eggs and ham, this could be an upgraded breakfast or a delicious brunch! I really like making this post workout, the whole family enjoys it. Kids can even prepare themselves or help.

Always Do A Mise En Place

If you want to prepare any recipe effectively, I would recommend to do you mise en place. Prepare all your ingredients and the dishes you will need to prepare it.

I always do it and I have been sharing it on my recipes most recently, whether it is for baking or cooking.

You will execute your recipe much efficiently. When I make this recipe, it is often a last minute decision and getting everything out of the fridge and prepare to use is definitely the way to go.

Breakfast Quesadillas

So quick and easy, only 2 major steps I would say to prepare it! Mainly, scramble eggs would be one and assembling the quesadilla with toppings would be another one.

In the same category, there is also the chicken quesadillas. A little different and using the chicken leftovers but a crowdpleaser nonetheless.

Lastly, if you are feeling more in the brunch mood, the breakfast quesadillas can be added to your menu ideas along with the croque-monsieurs.

PORTIONS: For 2 adults and 2 kids, these 2 quesadillas (half each) served with a salad or soup is quite sufficient. For bigger appetite, you might want to double the recipe and have each a quesadilla.
