A twist on a classic breakfast sandwich, this gooey bacon egg and cheese quesadilla is a fun and easy way to spice up Sunday morning!

Bacon, eggs, and cheese: the trifecta of deliciously savory weekend breakfasts. There are a thousand different ways to serve this combo, the most popular of which is probably the classic bacon egg and cheese sandwich. We’ve eaten it on countless types of bagels, croissants, biscuits, and English muffins. In fact, a bacon egg and cheese everything bagel was a breakfast staple for the two of us in college (shoutout to Wollaston’s!).

But every now and then, we get an urge to shake things up and try out a whole new combination of bacon, eggs, and cheese. We’ve made everything from a breakfast scramble to breakfast wraps, so we figured it was time to try a bacon egg and cheese quesadilla.

Quesadillas are a staple in our household, since we have tortillas and shredded cheese in our fridge 99.9% of the time. They’re gooey yet crispy, and they’re super versatile. You can add all kinds of fillings and use whatever dips and sauces you like to make each quesadilla unique. So a breakfast quesadilla seemed like a natural way to serve bacon and eggs, with plenty of gooey cheese and some fresh avocado on the side.

What This Recipe Entails

This simple breakfast recipe is a fun and unique take on a classic bacon egg and cheese breakfast sandwich. 

• Prep time: 10 minutes
• Cook time: 15 minutes

As the name suggests, this bacon egg and cheese breakfast quesadilla is pretty straightforward! High-quality crispy bacon, simple scrambled eggs, and a delicious blend of cheddar and mozzarella cheeses combine to create the perfect breakfast sandwich in quesadilla form. Serving it with sliced avocado and hot sauce really amps up the flavor and adds some moisture to every bite. And a bright green garnish of sliced scallions introduces a pop of color and a bit of peppery sharpness to contrast all those savory flavors.

How To Make A Breakfast Quesadilla

Most of the ingredients are already listed out in the name, but here’s everything you’ll need:

• The quesadilla – Grab your favorite quesadilla ingredients, flour tortillas and shredded cheese (we love a blend of cheddar and mozzarella for this recipe).
• The breakfast – Scrambled eggs and chopped bacon turn this quesadilla into a delicious breakfast.
• The toppings – Some of our favorite toppings and additions are scallions, avocado, and hot sauce. Add whatever you’d like to make your perfect breakfast quesadilla. 

Once you have all your ingredients, making this quesadilla is basically a combination of making scrambled eggs for breakfast, and making a quesadilla! Shocker, we know.

1. Prep the ingredients – Make the bacon and scramble the eggs. Pro tip: chop the bacon into small bite sized pieces before cooking. This shortens the cook time and means no crumbling bacon after it cooks. 
2. Make the quesadilla – Add the cheese, scrambled eggs, bacon, and any other of your favorite ingredients to the quesadilla and cook as normal. 
3. Serve – Once the quesadilla is finished, cut and serve with your favorite toppings or sides.

Serving Suggestions

• Make some crispy breakfast potatoes for a side dish. Add some cayenne and cumin to them to match the Mexican feel of this breakfast. 
• Serve as a fun change-up to a classic bacon egg and cheese breakfast sandwich.
• Scale this recipe up and make it for the whole family for breakfast for dinner. Add on some sides like the crispy potatoes or even rice, beans, and chips and salsa for a full meal.
