BREAKFAST QUESADILLAS

/

Nathan and I like to get our work week started off right by meal-prepping some foods that we can easily grab and go. We tend to make recipes that are simple and healthy, still taste good when heated up (in that dreaded break-room microwave), and most importantly: taste good! These breakfast quesadillas mark off all three of those boxes! We have been making these for the past couple of weeks, and they are a super filling and satisfying breakfast option. Simply serve with some salsa, sour-cream and a side of your favorite fruit, and you have a delicious, and easy, meal-prep for the week ahead. Also, feel free to play around with the filling ingredients. You really can’t go wrong, and the possibilities are endless. We hope you enjoy!

WHAT YOU NEED

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 C. diced ham

  • 1 C. chopped broccoli florets

  • 1/4 C. chopped onion

  • 4 large eggs, lightly beaten

  • Salt, freshly ground black pepper and red-pepper flakes, to taste

  • 4 4-inch whole wheat tortilla

  • 1 Cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese, divided

WHAT TO DO

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add garlic and onion, cook until garlic is fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in ham and broccoli until broccoli is tender and bright green, about 3-4 minutes.

  3. Add eggs to the skillet and cook, stirring gently using a spatula, until they just begin to set; season with salt, pepper, and red-pepper flakes to taste. Continue cooking until thickened and no visible liquid egg remains, about 3-5 minutes. Add in half the sharp cheddar cheese and stir until mixed in and melted.

  4. Sprinkle each tortilla with cheese; then layer half of each tortilla with the egg mixture. Fold in half and place onto the prepared baking sheet.

  5. Place into oven and bake until the cheese has melted and tortilla is slightly crisp, about 8-10 minutes.
