🥘 Ingredients

11 items

• 4 pieces Large flour tortillas
• 4 pieces Eggs
• 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
• 0.5 cup Cooked and crumbled bacon or sausage
• 0.25 cup Diced bell peppers
• 0.5 cup Chopped fresh spinach
• 2 tablespoons Butter or cooking oil
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 cup Salsa (optional, for serving)

📝 Instructions

10 steps

1. Crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk them with the salt and black pepper until well combined.

2. Heat 1 tablespoon of butter or oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

3. Add the whisked eggs to the skillet and scramble them gently until they are just set but still soft. Remove from heat and set aside.

4. Wipe the skillet clean if necessary, then heat another 1 tablespoon of butter or oil over medium heat.

5. Place one tortilla in the skillet and sprinkle a thin layer of shredded cheese over half of the tortilla.

6. Top the cheese with a portion of the scrambled eggs, cooked bacon or sausage, diced bell peppers, and chopped spinach.

7. Add another layer of shredded cheese on top of the fillings, then fold the tortilla in half to create a semicircle.

8. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, pressing down gently with a spatula, until the tortilla is golden brown and the cheese is melted.

9. Repeat steps 5-8 with the remaining tortillas and fillings.

10. Slice the quesadillas into wedges and serve warm with salsa and sour cream on the side, if desired.
