Breakfast Quesadillas Directions

STEP

1

Scrambled the eggs

In a small bowl, beat eggs until combined.
STEP

2

Start making an omelet

In a non-stick skillet large enough to fit the tortilla, heat to medium and spray with cooking spray. Pour in eggs and swirl the pan to coat the bottom of the pan. Lower the heat to low-medium.
STEP

3

Sprinkle some shredded cheese

Sprinkle about 2 tablespoons of shredded cheese on top of the egg mixture. This will help the tortilla stick to the eggs.
STEP

4

Add tortilla

Lay down tortilla on top of egg and cheese. Let sit for 30 seconds then flip so that the tortilla is on the bottom and egg is on top.
STEP

5

Add toppings

Sprinkle remaining cheese on top of the egg. Add toppings like bacon, sausage or vegetables if using to one side.
STEP

6

Fold keto quesadilla

Flip other side over on top of toppings and let cook for 30-60 seconds. Flip to the opposite side and let cook for 30-60 seconds.
