Breakfast Quesadilla (AKA the New Hot Pocket)

breakfast quesadilla breakfast quesadilla

My kids will only eat cereal for so many days before I start to get eye rolls. Aside from smoothies, a breakfast quesadilla are my fallback. I make a big batch and stick them in the freezer so I can pull them out on a weekday morning as my coffee is brewing.

INGREDIENTS

  • Tortillas
  • scrambled eggs
  • sausage (or turkey bacon, etc)
  • shredded cheese (I used a Mexican blend)
  • avocado slices for the top
  • Optional: spinach, broccoli, any typical omelet filling

DIRECTIONS

  1.  Place tortilla on plastic wrap.  Fill one half with eggs, sausage, and cheese (being generous with cheese).
  2.  Using plastic wrap, fold the tortilla in half and wrap.  Store in freezer.
  3. When you’re ready to eat, you can either thaw in refrigerator overnight OR microwave at 50% power for 1:30.  Cook your quesadilla at 350° for 6 minutes per side OR cook in a greased skillet.
  4.  Top with avocado (and any other toppings you like). Enjoy!
