Toaster Breakfast Quesadilla Ingredients

• 1 large flour tortilla (8-inch)
• 1 large egg
• 1 tablespoon milk
• Pinch of salt and pepper
• 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 teaspoon butter or cooking spray

How To Make Toaster Breakfast Quesadilla

1. Prepare the eggs: In a small bowl, whisk the egg with the milk, salt, and pepper until well combined.
2. Scramble the eggs: Heat a small non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add the butter or cooking spray. Pour in the egg mixture and cook, stirring with a spatula, until the eggs are just set but still a little soft. This should only take 1-2 minutes.
3. Assemble the quesadilla: Lay the flour tortilla flat on a clean surface. Place the scrambled eggs and the shredded cheese on one half of the tortilla. Fold the other half of the tortilla over the filling to create a half-moon shape.
4. Toast the quesadilla: Carefully place the folded quesadilla into a wide-slot toaster. Toast on a medium setting for 2-4 minutes, or until the tortilla is golden brown and crispy and the cheese is completely melted.

Recipe Tips

• Don’t overcook the eggs: The eggs will continue to cook slightly inside the quesadilla as it toasts. Cooking them until they are just set will prevent them from becoming rubbery.
• Use the right toaster: This method works best with a wide-slot toaster designed for bagels or thicker bread. Do not try this in a standard, thin-slot toaster.
• Keep it simple: Overfilling the quesadilla will make it difficult to fold and toast properly. Stick to the suggested amount of egg and cheese for the best results.
• Be patient: The toasting time can vary by toaster. Watch the quesadilla carefully to prevent burning. The quesadilla is ready when the cheese is melted and the tortilla is golden and crispy.

What To Serve Toaster Breakfast Quesadilla

This Toaster Breakfast Quesadilla is a satisfying breakfast on its own, but it’s also great with a variety of toppings and sides. Serve it with a dollop of salsa, a spoonful of sour cream, or a few slices of fresh avocado. For a more complete meal, pair it with a side of fruit or a cup of black coffee.

How To Store Toaster Breakfast Quesadilla Leftovers

• Refrigerate: This quesadilla is best eaten fresh. If you do have leftovers, you can wrap it tightly in plastic wrap or place it in an airtight container and store it in the refrigerator for up to 1 day. Reheat it in a toaster oven or skillet to maintain crispiness.
• Freeze: Freezing is not recommended for this recipe, as the texture of the egg and tortilla can become soggy when thawed.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Can I add other ingredients to the quesadilla? Yes, but be careful not to overfill it. You can add a tablespoon of cooked, crumbled sausage or bacon, finely diced bell peppers, or a small amount of chopped spinach. Make sure any additions are pre-cooked and finely chopped.
• Why did my quesadilla get stuck in the toaster? This usually happens if you overfill the quesadilla or if your toaster slots are not wide enough. Ensure your quesadilla is a tight half-moon shape and that your toaster is a wide-slot model.
• What kind of cheese should I use? Shredded cheddar cheese is a great choice because it melts well and has a good flavor. You can also use a Mexican blend, Monterey Jack, or even mozzarella cheese.
