    Leftovers never looked so good. Being prepared the night before does make the morning goes so much smoother, and it sure beats having to eat a bowl of cold cereal for breakfast.

      I use a divided omelet pan (top and bottom with a hinge), Cut the tortillas in half if you wish. I just fold and make a “breakfast calzone” using tortillas! You can make scrambled eggs, if you prefer, warmed in the microwave from the night before,,,then add ingredients as wanted.

            I have a panini maker but get lazy. So I fill my tortillas, fold them in half like a taco and set in a hot skillet. Once everything starts to melt, a large spatula will flip it over to brown the other side. To prevent spillage, I make TWO quesadillas.

          • Amy Engberson says

            September 11, 2015 at 8:28 pm

            I’ve done this before too and it works great. If I wouldn’t overfill them I don’t think I would have a problem at all!

        • David Dampier says

          January 1, 2016 at 10:59 pm

          I’m not sure just how that would work. It seems to me the filling would all fall out between the grates. The Martha Stewart trick seems easier to me. Although if you allow the cheese to melt adequately between the tortillas without burning the undersides there should not be any fallout out when it is being flipped The other possibility is that there is far too much filing for the tortillas. Cut back on your fillings and it would won’t be necessary to scrape up bit and pieces that have fallen out.
          Again, make sure the cheese is adequately melted to fuse both skies together and you won’t have any problems.

            It’s true David, if I can contain myself and not add too many fillings to my quesadilla it works just fine. Of course I always use lots of cheese to “glue” the quesadilla together. I just get too carried away with my fillings. Oh well, I never minded snacking on the pieces that fell out anyway!

  3. Jeanine says

    April 8, 2015 at 12:02 pm

    I learned this trick a few years ago from Martha Stewart: when one side of the quesadilla is cooked, invert a plate on top of the quesadilla, lift skillet and turn it over (quesadilla is now on the plate), then slide the quesadilla back into the skillet and cook until 2nd side is browned.

        I put all of the stuffing on 1/2 of the tortilla, let it get a bit melted and fold the other half on top. When it gets brown on that side, I just flip it toward the fold and brown the other side. I get the same yield but I end up with 2 semi-circle tortillas instead of 1 round one. Also, I use cooking spray instead of butter when I’m trying to cut down on the fat.

          I have used the half quesadilla method before too! If I don’t stuff my quesadilla with too much yummy fillings I don’t end up with a mess. But, who could resist all the yummy fillings? Cooking spray is always an easy option, but since I live on a dairy farm I have to say real butter is still the best!!:)

            I make sure I start and end with cheese and use a lid to cover so while the bottom is browning the heat is causing the top layer of cheese to melt to create a “glue” so flipping is alittle easier.

          • Amy Engberson says

            November 12, 2015 at 12:05 pm

            Agreed! Every quesadilla must begin and end with cheese. Using a top lid is a great idea! Thanks for sharing!

          February 9, 2016 at 12:23 pm

          That is how I do it too. Easy and no mess because the cheese does melt and keep it all together. I also use Pam instead of butter.

    Hi, first time visitor here, I found this recipe on Pinterest. Had to tell you how much we loved it. I neglected to get a photo before we devoured these. To keep the stuffing from falling out I did one tortilla per person and folded it. I thought it gave one less side for things to escape from, and it worked perfectly. Breakfast is always a challenge for my diabetic spouse so I used carb steady tortillas, and making the hard boiled eggs in a batch was the best part. I really love this, and so did my DH

    When I make regular quesadillas, I always use my griddle (about 350). The large tortillas fit great and I use one tortilla, put all my ingredients on one side (chesse all over) then just fold it over and it’s so much easier to flip back and forth to brown each side.

    I use one of those green ceramic flippable fry-pans. It works great, no spillage. They are under $10.00 on Amazon.com. I use it for this recipe and for making omelets. Where the pan is non-stick I use about half the amount of butter, just enough to give it that yummy butter flavor.

    First time visitor. I just couldn’t resist sharing the idea I found that works amazing. You can put the quesadilla in a waffle maker and it will cook it the same way. This way you don’t have to flip or make a smaller quesadilla! We have learned that there are many uses for the waffle maker outside of making waffles. We will be trying these quesadillas this morning.

I put a plate over top upside down(one hand holding it) Take the quesadilla up and flip the plate.. Take spatula and take the quesadilla off the plate and put back in the pan. (the quesadilla should be reversed. I don’t lose any ingredients anymore.

    I made the breakfast quesadillas this morning and they were very good and tasty. Following the recipe I was unsure if the tortillas to use were small ones or large ones plus the T of butter, was it a tsp. or tbs? I also filled half the tortillas with the ingredients and folded them in half and put them in the pan, easier to flip. Will definitely make them again.

      Christine, this is a super easy recipe to adjust to your liking. That’s one of my favorite things about it. If you have large tortillas you can use more fillings, if your tortillas are smaller you will obviously use less fillings. Folding them over is a great option, especially if you only want to make a half of a quesadilla. I do use about a Tablespoon of butter, if I’m feeling skinny! I’m a dairy farmers wife and so we eat lots of butter!!

    Dear Mrs. Engberson,
    To flip a quesadilla without dumping everything out you can try laying a plate the same size as the skillet, inverted over the tortilla, then pick up the skillet with the quesadilla sandwiched in between, and flip the skillet, catching the plate in your opposite hand. Now the quesadilla is on the plate, un-browned side down. Return the skillet to the burner and slide the tortilla into the skillet.
    Should work like a charm.
    I like the recipe and can’t wait to try it.

      Yay! I’m glad you enjoyed it! These are so easy to make, especially if I already have boiled eggs in the fridge!

    You could could cook the optional items and the main ingredients in one pan and then the tortilla in a different pan, then when the tortilla is done take it off the pan and put it to the side but when the other ingredients are done put them in the tortilla and fold the tortilla and then put it in a panini maker to heat up the tortilla again but don’t leave it in for too long so it won’t burn and then take it out cut it up and serve it.

    I bet you could do these in a waffle iron and you wouldn’t have to flip them! Or in a panini maker!???

      Hi Brenda! I’m not a calorie counter so I have no idea! I assume there’s some sort of program you can plug the ingredients into and it will tell you. Sorry I’m not more help in that department!

    These sound amazing! I love quesadillas, never thought to make them for breakfast!
    Quick tip…if you have a George Foreman grill..it makes a great quesadilla cooker..3 minutes and done!

      That’s a great idea! I used to have a Foreman grill, but I gave it away because it was so hard to clean. That was years ago though. I’m sure they have improved them since then. Breakfast Quesadillas are awesome for quick breakfasts! Enjoy!

    I stumbled across this through Pinterest, and was intrigued enough to check it out! I only wish there was a good alternative to the tortilla….however, I can see these being made, refrigerated, and reheated in the microwave for my husband who travels all week, spending his time in motels. Sending a couple of these with him on Monday morning on his way to work sounds like a great alternative to Mickey D’s or some other fast food place….at least for one or two mornings anyway! Thanks for recipe.

      Hi Sharon! I’m glad you found me! I’ve never made these with corn tortillas before, but I bet they would be fanastitic! You are so thoughtful to come up with yummy breakfast ideas fro your husband! I bet he appreciates homemade food when he’s on the road. The tortillas get soggy after the quesadillas set in the fridge, but it doesn’t bother my boys at all. They gobble them up for a snack all the time! Enjoy!

      Hi Jordan! One of my favorite things about this recipe is that it’s so easy to alter it to make as many, or as few servings as you’d like! This particular recipe makes one full sized quesadilla, which usually feeds about two people in my family! Feel free to double it to make more! I hope that helps!

    Just tried this and it was awesome ! I used sharp cheddar cheese and sliced deli ham, so much easier making this without worrying about making scrambled eggs. It was so good and came out delicious

      Deli ham is a great substitute! I love anything that makes my things faster and easier! We love using hard-boiled eggs too because it’s I always have them in the fridge! Glad you loved it!
