This is a perfect breakfast recipe when you need something quick, healthy, and satisfying. Made using whole wheat tortillas, eggs, avocado, and white cheddar, it’s my go-to savory breakfast. This vegetarian quesadilla is a balanced breakfast option with protein, fiber, and healthy fats.
Although you could add bacon or sausage, it’s still very filling and satisfying as is. My husband and I enjoy it topped with Verde sauce or salsa. And I feel great serving it to my four-year-old because I know it’s a balanced and healthy meal.
This breakfast recipe is also a great one to take on the go and would be an excellent meal prep idea.
Breakfast Quesadilla Ingredients:
- Whole Wheat Tortilla: Healthier than unbleached flour tortillas, these have more fiber and will thus keep you fuller for longer.
- Eggs: Protein-rich and a breakfast staple. I usually scramble my eggs for this recipe, however, eggs cooked to your liking will do.
- Avocado: One of my favorite healthy fats, this makes the quesadilla creamy and even more satisfying.
- White Cheddar Cheese: This is what holds the quesadilla together and gives it a rich taste.
