Tips for making breakfast quesadillas!
- I like to use good quality thin bacon.
- Sausage links or about 1/4 pound ground sausage works great.
- I prefer heavy whipping cream in my eggs but whole milk will do just fine.
- I use 6-inch flour tortillas (fajita size) But if you want to use the larger size and fold them in half that would work fine.
Can I freeze breakfast quesadillas?
Yes, these freeze great! After cooking and assembly. Place quartered quesadillas on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and flash freeze them for 1-2 hours. Then remove them and place them into a freezer bag.
