Breakfast Quesadillas

After perusing a blog that another Momma linked to, I saw this recipe and knew I had to try it.  We try to eat meatless once a week around here, so this was a fun way to incorporate eggs in our menu planning.

A perfect finger food, you can add ingredients based on everyone's liking.  We cooked one plain for Melissa, added some bacon for Eric, and added bell pepper and onion to mine. 

While doing my planning for the week, I decided to cook some up as an easy breakfast for the next few days.  I could eat them at home, or if I was running short on time, I could easily eat them in them in the car since the tortilla keeps everything contained. 

However, Melissa saw them on the rack to cool, proclaimed "time to eat!" and climbed into her chair.  What else could I do but give her a slice or two.  The only problem was that she didn't eat much of our real dinner.

Here's the basic recipe, but I would recommend visiting the link, as she provides a video tutorial with a great hint on how to flip the eggs without everything folding and getting messy.

2 Tortillas
2 Eggs
1/2 Cup Cheese
1 Tsp Oil
Condiments: Salsa, Pico de Gallo, Ketchup, Cilantro

1. Whisk 2 eggs in a bowl until combined.
2. Place oil in a 9 inch pan over medium heat, coating the bottom of the pan (make sure to use a pan that is at least slightly larger than your tortilla).
3. Pour in the whisked eggs, tilting the pan to spread it evenly across.
4. Let the omelette cook for 30 seconds then gently use your spatula to go along the edges of the omelette, lifting them away from the pan to loosen.
5. Sprinkle 2 tbsp of cheese (and additional toppings if you want) on top of the omelette, place one tortilla on top of the egg and cheese and flip it onto a plate.
6. Slide the omelette, tortilla side-down, back into the pan, sprinkle another 2 tbsp of cheese on top of the egg and place another tortilla on top to cover.
7. Continue to cook the quesadilla for 1 minute, pressing down lightly with a spatula to help melt the cheese, then flip the quesadilla to cook the other side for an additional 30 seconds or until cheese melts and tortilla is golden.
8. Cut into wedges and serve.
