It’s that time of year where life gets busy. The kids are going back to school, fall festivals, trips to the pumpkin patch and of course football games. When life gets hectic I like to have a good plan for meals. Breakfast can be tough to squeeze in if your mornings are busy. These Make Ahead Breakfast quesadillas are a great solution for a hearty, hot breakfast when your too rushed to cook.

Make Ahead Breakfast Quesadillas

This is a very flexible recipe that allows you to really decide how much of each ingredient to use. I like to put lots of onions and peppers on mine. My husband likes loads of cheese and extra eggs. Its not a big surprise we can’t even order a large pizza with ordering it with different toppings on each half. That’s normal right?

These quesadillas call for some great breakfast flavors such as eggs, cheese and one of my favorites bacon. We don’t eat bacon very often so when I cook it I go for the real thing but if you prefer turkey bacon then that’s fine for this recipe.

 

Make Ahead Breakfast Quesadillas Feature

 

 

I cook the bacon in the oven to do this prepare a cookie sheet with a piece of parchment paper then lay desired amount of bacon on sheet. Place into a cold oven and set temperature to 375 degrees for thirty minutes.

Like the title of this post says these quesadillas can be made ahead and kept refrigerated for five days. This means a whole work week or school week of breakfasts ready in seconds.

To keep fresh cut the quesadillas into triangles. Then wrap tightly in plastic wrap. Once they are wrapped in the plastic put them in freezer sized storage bag. To reheat just unwrap from plastic and put the quesadilla on a plate in the microwave. In my microwave it takes about forty-five seconds but it could vary so just heat until the are warm and cheese is melted.

Serve with salsa or sour cream or both! Enjoy!

    What a great idea to have quesadillas for breakfast! I’m trying to experiment with various breakfast ideas and I will put it on my list. I’m also thinking about making some soups for breakfast but it’s very far from my usual sandwich, quesadilla sounds a better idea 😀
