Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large flour tortillas
- 4 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup cooked bacon, crumbled
- 1/4 cup cooked sausage, crumbled
- 1/4 cup diced bell pepper
- 1/4 cup diced onion
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add one tablespoon of olive oil.
- Add the diced bell pepper and onion to the skillet and sauté them for about 3 to 4 minutes until they are softened and slightly caramelized.
- Remove the bell pepper and onion mixture from the skillet and set it aside.
- In the same skillet, add the crumbled bacon and sausage and heat for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure they are evenly warmed through.
- Once the bacon and sausage are heated, remove them from the skillet and set aside with the bell pepper and onion.
- Crack the eggs into a bowl and add the milk, salt, and black pepper. Whisk the egg mixture until fully combined and slightly frothy.
- Return the skillet to medium heat and pour the egg mixture into it.
- Stir the eggs constantly with a spatula as they cook, ensuring they remain soft and fluffy.
- When the eggs are nearly cooked through but still slightly runny, add the cooked bacon, sausage, bell pepper, and onion mixture into the skillet. Stir everything together and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes until the eggs are fully set and everything is heated through.
- Remove the egg mixture from the skillet and set it aside.
- Place one large flour tortilla back in the same skillet over medium heat and cook for about 1 minute, until it begins to lightly brown and crisp.
- Flip the tortilla and sprinkle half of the shredded cheddar cheese and half of the shredded mozzarella cheese onto the cooked side of the tortilla.
- Spread half of the egg mixture evenly over the cheese.
- Place the second tortilla on top, pressing gently to help it stick.
- Cook the quesadilla for about 2 to 3 minutes, flipping halfway through, until both sides are golden brown and the cheese is melted.
- Remove the quesadilla from the skillet and let it rest for 1 minute before cutting it into wedges.
- Repeat the process with the second tortilla and the remaining ingredients.
- Serve the quesadillas warm and enjoy!
