Best Breakfast Quesadilla
  1. 1

    Assemble all the ingredients.

  2. 2

    Crack the eggs into a small bowl. Add the crumbled bacon and whisk until well combined.

  3. 3

    Coat a large skillet with cooking spray and heat it over medium-high. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet; cook and stir until the eggs are set, about 5 minutes. Take the skillet off the heat.

  4. 4

    Spread a light layer of butter on one side of each tortilla. Heat a separate dry skillet over medium-low.

  5. 5

    Set one tortilla in the warm skillet with the buttered side down. Spoon 1/2 of the scrambled egg mixture onto one half of the tortilla.

  6. 6

    Scatter 1/4 cup Colby-Jack cheese over the egg mixture and fold the tortilla over it. Cook, turning as needed, until the tortilla is toasted and crispy and the cheese is melted, 2 to 3 minutes. Repeat to make the second quesadilla.
