Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 cooked bacon strips, crumbled
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup diced bell pepper (any color)
- 0.25 cup chopped green onions
- 2 large flour tortillas
- 1 tablespoon butter
Instructions
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the diced bell pepper and cook for 3-4 minutes, until softened.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet with the bell peppers. Gently stir with a spatula, cooking until the eggs are scrambled and just set. Remove from heat and stir in the crumbled bacon and green onions.
Place one flour tortilla on a clean cutting board. Spread half of the shredded cheese evenly across the tortilla.
Spoon the scrambled egg mixture over the cheese, spreading it out evenly, then sprinkle the remaining cheese on top. Cover with the second tortilla.
Heat half the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Once melted, carefully transfer the quesadilla to the skillet.
Cook for 2-3 minutes, pressing lightly with a spatula, until the bottom is golden brown and the cheese has started to melt. Use a large spatula to carefully flip the quesadilla.
Add the remaining butter to the skillet and cook the other side for another 2-3 minutes, until golden and crispy.
Remove the quesadilla from the skillet and let it rest for 1 minute. Slice into wedges and serve immediately with salsa, sour cream, or avocado slices if desired.
