An easy and hearty breakfast treat. Instead of quesadillas, you can also make these into breakfast burritos, but you might need a slightly larger tortilla.

How To Make breakfast quesadillas

  • 1
    In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, onions, bell pepper, salt and pepper. In a separate small bowl, stir the ranch dressing and salsa until combined. Set aside.
  • 2
    Melt the butter in a large non-stick skillet. Add the egg mixture and cook without stirring until the bottom begins to set.
  • 3
    Draw a rubber spatula through the eggs, creating large curds. Don't break them up. Continue cooking until the eggs have thickened but are still moist.
  • 4
    Remove the eggs from the skillet and set aside. Wipe the skillet clean with paper towels.
  • 5
    To assemble the quesadillas, begin by sprinkling 1/4 cup of cheese over half of each tortilla. Top each half with 1/4 of the scrambled eggs, bacon and ham. Fold each tortilla in half and press lightly.
  • 6
    Heat the wiped-out skillet over medium high heat. Add two quesadillas and cook 2-3 minutes per side, until golden. Repeat with the second batch. Serve with the ranch dressing mix on the side.
