Healthy Breakfast Quesadilla Recipe (Easy & Vegetarian)
I am currently obsessed with this easy quesadilla recipe! I would make it for breakfast, and I’d also make it for lunch at 3 pm if I haven’t eaten anything yet. It’s great to serve with some fresh tomato sauce or avocado sauce, but honestly this recipe is quite perfect on its very own.
I had some leftover flour tortillas and I realize there are much healthier options these days, so if you want to be more prepared and make this meal even healthier – choose one of those options. Almond flour tortillas, gluten-free tortillas or even whole-grain tortillas should all work for this recipe.
Ingredients
- eggs
- zucchini
- spinach
- garlic
- shredded mozzarella
- olive oil
- tortillas
- jalapenos
- salt and pepper
How To Make It:
This breakfast quesadilla is quite easy to make and you only need one pan. Here’s what to do:
- Start off by sauteing the zucchini, spinach and garlic for 3-4 minutes.
- Then move them to one side of the pan and scramble 2 eggs on the other side.
- Arrange the tortillas by layering the vegetables, eggs, cheese and jalapeno on one 1/2 of the tortilla.
- Fold the tortilla in half and toast on both sides until golden brown. Be more mindful when flipping as some of the filling might come out. I honestly, just put it back in and ignored it.
- Then slice and enjoy it immediately!
Options
I actually spread a tbsp of tomato paste on one of the tortillas, this is optional, but it’s pretty good!
You can also add some avocado, other vegetables and use other types of tortillas (gluten free or whole grain) to make this easy breakfast recipe healthier!
I hope you enjoy this easy breakfast quesadilla recipe!
