Egg and Spinach Breakfast Quesadilla - A Healthy and Delicious Morning Meal
Start your day off right with a delicious and nutritious Egg and Spinach Breakfast Quesadilla.
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 2 cup baby spinach, roughly chopped
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup diced onion
- 1/4 cup diced bell pepper
- 2 large whole wheat tortillas
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper. Set aside.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the onion and bell pepper, cooking until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the chopped spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted, about 1-2 minutes.
- Pour the whisked eggs into the skillet and gently scramble them, combining them with the cooked vegetables. Cook until the eggs are just set, about 2-3 minutes. Remove the egg mixture from the skillet and set aside.
- Wipe the skillet clean and add the remaining 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil. Place one tortilla in the skillet and sprinkle half of the shredded cheese on one side of the tortilla.
- Spread half of the egg mixture on top of the cheese, then fold the other half of the tortilla over the filling. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the tortilla is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
- Repeat with the remaining tortilla, cheese, and egg mixture.
- Cut each quesadilla into wedges and serve immediately with your favorite salsa or hot sauce.
