These Freezer Friendly Simple Breakfast Quesadillas are a delicious option to have on hand for busy mornings! The protein-rich quesadillas are stuffed with three simple breakfast ingredients – eggs, bacon, and cheese.
Hi Friends!
I have to admit, my breakfast choices have lacked variety lately. I eat almost the same thing on a daily basis. During the week my son eats breakfast at school, so I am only making breakfast for myself and less motivated to be creative. I typically prepare an egg in the microwave, sprouted grain toast or whole grain waffle, and a banana. Sounds so exciting right?!
On the weekends we typically eat breakfast as a family, so I am more likely to be a little more creative and add variety to my breakfast choices. We almost always prepare scrambled eggs, but the rest of the breakfast does vary. Some type of fruit (usually cut up) is nearly always involved. Bacon is sometimes included. And we typically include some type of starch focused food such as whole grain waffles (sometimes homemade and sometimes frozen), pastries, oatmeal bake, whole grain toast, etc.
Something I have made from time to time for weekend breakfasts is simple breakfast quesadillas. They are made with a few simple ingredients – tortillas, scrambled, eggs, bacon, and cheese, and are always a hit with my family. Even my toddler, who rarely eats combined foods, is a huge fan. On the rare occasion when I do have leftovers, I will store the quesadillas in the refrigerator. The next morning I will heat the leftover quesadillas in the toaster for a delicious and quick breakfast option.
Recently I saw a food other food bloggers post recipes that included freezing egg-based recipes to be enjoyed later. This post sparked the idea for the creation of Freezer Friendly Simple Breakfast Quesadillas! Instead of refrigerating the leftover quesadillas I decided to give freezing a try. It worked like a charm!
To make the freezer friendly version of Simple Breakfast Quesadillas prepare the eggs and bacon as usual, but then instead of cooking the quesadillas stuff the tortillas and place them flat (like on a cookie sheet) in the freezer for a few hours. After the quesadillas have been in freezer a few hours, you can remove from freezer and cut into smaller pieces and wrap each quesadilla in plastic wrap. They can be kept in freezer for one to two months. Such a yummy breakfast to have on hand!
Enjoy!
