Cook Protein
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Cook sausage or bacon until browned and cooked through, then remove to a plate. If using cooked ham, you can heat it up or add it later. Wipe excess oil from the skillet if needed. Reduce heat to low.
2Cook Eggs

Prepare and Cook Eggs
In a measuring cup, add 2 large eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper. Beat with a fork. Add beaten eggs to the skillet and swirl to spread evenly over the bottom. Cook over low heat until the eggs are nearly cooked through (they shouldn't run if you tilt the pan).
3Assemble Quesadilla
3m
Add Cheese and Tortilla
Sprinkle about 2 tablespoons of shredded cheese over the cooked eggs. Cover with a flour tortilla. The cheese will help the tortilla stick to the egg. Use a large spatula to get under the egg and tortilla, and quickly flip it over.
Add Toppings and Fold
Sprinkle another 2 tablespoons of cheese over the flipped tortilla. Add your cooked protein (sausage, bacon, or ham) over half of the surface. Fold the tortilla in half.
Grill and Serve
Sauté the folded quesadilla on both sides until golden brown. Remove from the skillet, cut into wedges using a pizza cutter, and serve warm.
Tips
Adding a little oil to the pan can help the outside of the tortilla crisp nicely.
The cheese acts as a binder, helping the egg layer adhere to the tortilla for easy flipping.
