Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs, scrambled
- 8 slices of bacon, cooked to your liking
- 1 cup grated jack cheese
- 1 cup grated cheddar cheese
- 4 burrito-size flour tortillas, at room temperature
- 2-3 tablespoons salted butter or vegetable oil
Instructions
- Prepare the tortilla: Place one flour tortilla flat on your workspace. Using a sharp knife or kitchen shears, cut a single straight line from the center of the tortilla to its edge. Rotate as needed so the cut points straight downward.
- Visualize quadrants: Imagine the tortilla divided into four equal sections or quadrants with quadrant 1 immediately to the left of the cut line, moving clockwise through quadrants 2, 3, and 4.
- Add bacon: In quadrant 1, place 2 pieces of cooked bacon, breaking them into smaller pieces if necessary to fit neatly within the triangular area.
- Add eggs: In quadrant 2, add one-quarter of the scrambled eggs, approximately the equivalent of one egg per quesadilla if adjusting servings.
- Add cheese layer one: In quadrant 3, sprinkle between 1/4 and 1/2 cup of one type of cheese (either jack or cheddar).
- Add cheese layer two: In quadrant 4, sprinkle between 1/4 and 1/2 cup of the other cheese.
- Begin folding: Fold quadrant 1 (bacon) up over quadrant 2 (eggs) to help keep the bacon securely inside.
- Continue folding: Fold the quesadilla clockwise, folding quadrant 3 over the folded parts, then quadrant 4, to form a compact triangle shape.
- Melt butter in pan: Heat a medium saucepan over medium heat and melt a dab of butter.
- Cook quesadilla: Gently lift the folded quesadilla into the saucepan using a spatula, taking care not to spill the cheese. One cheese layer will be on the bottom, the other on top.
- Brown first side: Cook over medium or medium-low heat until the bottom side is golden brown and the cheese has melted.
- Flip and butter: Add a bit more butter to the pan or spread butter onto the cooked side of the quesadilla before flipping it carefully.
- Brown second side: Continue cooking until the other side is also nicely browned and the cheese is fully melted.
- Repeat for remaining quesadillas: Use the same steps to prepare and cook the remaining quesadillas until all four are done.
Notes
- Room temperature tortillas fold more easily and crisp better.
- Use medium or medium-low heat to avoid burning the tortillas before the cheese melts.
- You can substitute bacon for sausage or add vegetables like bell peppers for variation.
- If you prefer crispier quesadillas, add a little extra butter or oil to the pan.
- Be gentle while folding and flipping to keep the filling intact.
