Step-by-Step Instructions
- Step 1: Cook the Bacon. Start by placing a large skillet over medium heat and adding your bacon. Cook the bacon for about 8–10 minutes, turning occasionally, until it reaches a crispy texture and releases its savory aroma. Once done, transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease, then crumble it into bite-sized pieces.
- Step 2: Whisk the Eggs. In a medium bowl, crack open the large eggs and add a pinch of salt and pepper. Whisk the mixture vigorously for about 1–2 minutes until it becomes frothy and well combined.
- Step 3: Scramble the Eggs. Using the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium-low and melt a tablespoon of butter. Once melted and bubbling, pour in your whisked egg mixture. Stir gently with a spatula for about 3–4 minutes until the eggs are just set but still creamy.
- Step 4: Assemble the Quesadillas. Take a flour tortilla and lay it flat. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over one half, followed by scrambled eggs and crumbled bacon. Fold the tortilla in half, pressing down gently.
- Step 5: Repeat the Assembly. Continue with remaining tortillas and filling, ensuring an even distribution of ingredients.
- Step 6: Cook the Quesadillas. In the same skillet, bring the heat back to medium. Cook each folded quesadilla for about 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy.
- Step 7: Rest and Slice. Let the quesadillas rest for 2–3 minutes on a cutting board before slicing.
- Step 8: Serve with Garnishes. Cut each quesadilla into wedges and garnish with hot sauce, chopped green onions, or fresh cilantro.
