Not Your Average Breakfast Quesadillas
If you’re looking for a way to change up making breakfast quesadillas, then here is a not-your-average breakfast quesadilla in a unique wrap – sun dried tomato tortillas!
This dish uses scrambled eggs, cooked with basil and Trader Joes Everything But the Bagel Seasoning. The eggs are then assembled with shredded sharp cheddar cheese and fine diced tomatoes & wrapped in sun dried tomato tortilla wraps from Aldi. Talk about a unique flavor combination!
When I scramble eggs for a dish like this, I like to leave them a bit moist, cooking on high heat for 2-3 mins, then removing and adding to a bowl. I also like to use a dicing tool to both shred a block of sharp cheddar cheese as well as fine dice a couple of roma tomatoes. For cooking this dish, I like to use a ribbed skillet so that the quesadillas have grill marks on them.
These ingredients, plus the seasonings, wrapped in this type of wrap, give these quesadillas a Mediterranean flavor – tomato & basil, plus light, sweet, and cheesy. Perfect for a post run tailgate, springtime brunch, or any other warm weather gathering!
What are some alternatives to the ingredients in this dish?
If you need to make some modifications to the ingredients to this dish, others you could add that would bring out unique flavors would be
-feta cheese
-diced purple onions
-diced hash browns
-red or green peppers
Does this have to be served immediately after cooking? Or can this dish be kept & keep warm for a while to serve after cooking?
This dish can do either! If you wrap each quesadilla in aluminum foil and place into an insulated container, the quesadillas can be kept warm for a few hours.
Can any of this be prepped ahead of time? (say, the night before a Saturday morning long run)?
This dish is best made in one effort - fortunately it only takes a few minutes to make!
