Lazy Days (Recipe: Eggadilla Breakfast Quesadilla)

Jump to Recipe -

This Eggadilla Breakfast Quesadilla recipe is a simple breakfast for those mornings on the go!

 

I am typically an early riser. Not necessarily because I want to be but because I have been forced to be by a husband who chooses to go to work at 5:30am and kiddos who somehow inherited some insane early rising gene. Why is it that even when they go to bed late, they still wake up early? No matter how late we tuck them in at night, they are up and at ’em by 6:00am.

Changes are happening around here though, and I’m excited about it! For the past couple of weeks, we have become a bunch of lazy morning people. We have been playing so hard during the day that my kids are now not rolling out of bed until 7:30 or 8am. It has been heavenly to be able to catch a few more moments of sleep before starting the day, especially since the baby seems to really like my company in the middle of the night.

Now, when they wake up, they come into my room, climb up in my bed and it seems like we collectively just spend too long of time oogling over Leah. (It is so neat to see how much the big kids love her!) We watch her sleep, we watch her when she’s awake, and before we know it, another hour or so has zoomed by. By the time we shower, get dressed and roll downstairs for breakfast it is at least 9:30!

Like I said the other day, I am trying to plan out our breakfast and lunches a little better. When I saw this recipe for this Eggadilla Breakfast Quesadilla in the Sunday newspaper edition of Relish Magazine, I knew it would be a great recipe to serve for lunch or breakfast. It is so easy it fits our new lazy lifestyle. In fact, I think the simplicity of the recipe will match perfectly for when  reality hits and we have to start waking up again to be someplace early in the morning. It is easy enough to make during those hectic morning hours. For now, however, I don’t even want to think about those days because they will be here all too soon. We are going to sit back and enjoy the lazy days of summer!

Ingredients

  • 1/2 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 egg white
  • 2 8-inch or 10-inch flour tortillas
  • 1/2 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
  • Salsa optional
  • Diced avocado optional

Instructions

  • Heat a nonstick sauté pan, big enough to fit tortillas, over medium-low heat. Add oil. Add eggs, breaking yolks. Cook until eggs are set enough to flip, about 2 minutes. Flip; cook until eggs are done (over-hard), about 2 minutes. Transfer to a plate. Wipe out pan.
  • Return pan to heat and increase heat to medium. Place one tortilla in pan. Sprinkle on half the cheese. Place cooked eggs over cheese. Top with remaining cheese and tortilla. Cook until bottom tortilla is a little brown and cheese starts to melt, 1 to 2 minutes. Flip with a spatula and brown the other side. Remove from pan. Transfer to cutting board. Cool 1 minute. Slice into wedges. Serve with salsa and diced avocado if using. Serves 2.

    Add sausage, or ham or cooked taco meat for something extra yummy. We’ve done these ‘Breakfast Quesadillas’ for ages and love them. Easy to take on the road too.

    I love mine with smoked salmon and a little frozen corn…a heavenly breakfast!

    What a great idea! I have some bacon, so that would be a fun addition. I’ve done the breakfast burrito thing, but never thought of a breakfast quesadilla. Enjoy that baby! She will grow up so fast. Can’t believe mine is almsot 2 already.

    This sort of thing is like daily eats in Southern California! The Mexican shacks that serve up awesome fast food lunch & dinner offer this sort of thing along w/ egg burritos for brekkie too! Will have to whip up some of these soon at home as my guys are Mex food fanatics!!

    I wish I was an early riser! After college I went through a phase where I was wide awake by 8 but lately I could sleep half the day away if it were acceptable (but they sort of frown upon that at work!)

    I’m an early bird by choice! Nothing better than weaking up before the sun’s out and getting an early start to the day! 4:30am is my time of choice and I don’t even need an alarm, my body just knows… mind you, come 8:30pm and I’m in zombie-mode!
    Brilliant name for these, they look perfect to bring to the office, which is what I always do!

    So great that the older kids are enjoying the baby so much.. This sounds like a perfect recipe. I’m kind of a morning person, but still getting out of bed is not my favorite time of day. I too have a husband who has to get up at irregular times, which doesn’t make it very easy to get used to it!! Enjoy your lazy days while they last!

    I miss my pre-baby days when I could stay in bed until 10am. Now, my baby turned me into a morning person which is not a bad thing at all. Especially in summer time, I really wanna get up early, put my baby in my arm and enjoy the summer morning breeze.

    Love this recipe! I too am turning over a new leaf and beginning to plan meals out better. Life is just so busy that eating with my family has been pushed to the back burner. I am going to try this recipe and I am sure my family will love it.

    You can also try using frozen, prepared Indian breads such as whole wheat rotis or flavored parathas to add variety to the dish. I LOVE the methi parathas that are sold frozen at my local Patel’s grocery store. Simply place one roti or paratha in a hot saute pan over medium heat for a few minutes on each side until blistered, and its ready to be topped by one delicious egg. This dish lends itself nicely to a squirt of sriracha or mayo, or diced onions or cilantro to top it off.

    Wow, what a cute idea! I love eggs and I was searching for something un-boring, thank you! I’m definitely going to try this today because its raining which makes it an automatic lazy day 🙂
