Bacon, Egg & Cheese Quesadillas Recipe (1)

Let me bring you back to my Sunday morning this past weekend. The picture goes something like this. I’m in the kitchen (surprise!) and the hubby is lounging on the couch. As I’m making bacon egg muffins he asks with a sheepish grin, “Do you think you could make me a breakfast quesadillas also?” Sure, anything else I can do for you sir?

Quesadillas – Hubby is obsessed! We received a quesadilla maker for our wedding and he has not stopped making them since. I love it because when I have no other ideas for food I quick grab that and know he’s going to be happy with whatever I put in there. It’s basically a Sunday ritual to make quesadillas with whatever ingredient we have sitting around. I really want to try Artichoke and Spinach Dip quesadillas like you find at a restaurant next!
Bacon, Egg & Cheese Quesadillas Recipe (2)Ah it’s all good. I love him dearly and I’ve only had a few days a week to treat him to home cooked meals so I better do it when I can. He’ll be back after this week and things might change a little!

This isn’t even hard enough to justify a recipe and sometime I think are people going to thing I’m pointing out the obvious? But these were so good and in case you wanted a recipe I thought I’d post one. They are super simple and quite tasty. It’s a different twist on the plain old bacon and eggs. We have a handy quesadilla maker but you can make these in a frying pan also so don’t let that stop you.

    This looks delicious and what a great way to use up extra tortillos.
    What is the easiest way to flip the tortillos once the egg mixture is added? I usually end up with egg outside of the tortillo’s and in the skillet.
    Thank
    Martha
