Whole Egg, Bacon and Avocado Quesadilla
A delicious and fulfilling meal combining crispy bacon, creamy avocado, and hearty eggs wrapped in a warm tortilla, perfect for any time of day.
Ingredients
Main ingredients
- 3 rasher streaky bacon (chopped)
- 4 pieces flour tortillas Note 1
- 4 pieces eggs
- 1 large avocado (halved and sliced)
- ½ cup grated cheese I used cheddar
- Salt and pepper To taste
Instructions
Cooking the Bacon
- Heat a skillet over high heat. Add the chopped bacon and cook until it reaches your desired crispiness. Once cooked, remove the bacon and set it on a paper towel-lined plate to drain the excess fat.
Preparing the Quesadilla
- Drain any leftover fat from the skillet and wipe away any burned bits. Return the skillet to the stove and reduce the heat to medium.
- Place one tortilla in the skillet. Arrange avocado slices around the edge of half the tortilla and add thinner slices in the middle to form a 'ring' to hold the egg in place.
- Crack an egg into the center of the tortilla, then sprinkle the reserved bacon and cheese on top. Season with salt and pepper.
- Carefully fold the tortilla over, making sure everything stays inside. Cook for about 4 minutes, until the tortilla is golden and crispy.
- Flip the quesadilla by sliding the spatula under the curved edge and turning it over. Cook the other side for an additional 3 minutes or until it is also golden and crisp. Remove from the skillet and repeat with the remaining tortillas.
- Serve the quesadillas immediately while they are hot.
Notes
The quesadilla is best enjoyed hot out of the skillet. Serve with salsa, sour cream, or fresh cilantro for added flavor. For extra flavor, consider adding chopped green onions or chili flakes to the egg mixture.
