Notes

  • Scrambled egg and cheese quesadillas are my standard but you can add chopped bacon, ham, bell peppers, onion, chives, and anything else you want. Use your imagination!
  • These breakfast quesadillas are great for meal planning. Make a big batch and store them in the fridge to enjoy them all week.
  • Any good melting cheese will work in this recipe, but I like either sliced American or Swiss
