Breakfast Quesadillas with Cottage Cheese

We're back with breakfast. Today we're making some super quick breakfast quesadillas made with our favorite ingredient cottage cheese. You can customize them to your liking and they're easy to make so let's jump right into it. This is random but it feels like eggs have gone up to the price of a prime rib overnight. So my question for you all today is where are you located and how much are eggs right now? Drop it in the comments below. We're going to start this one by making our scramble. In a small mixing bowl, add four large whole eggs, half a cup of cottage cheese, a little pepper and some salt. Yes, we're using cottage cheese in our scramble. If you've never tried it, it's delicious. Mix those ingredients together. If you want a smoother texture, you can blend or process this mix but it's really not needed. Now go ahead and take out a stovetop pan, put your burner on medium heat and add in half a tablespoon of oil or butter into it. Pour your egg mix in once it heats up and scramble your eggs. Keep them moving as they cook for the best result. After those are done, put them off to the side. Keep your burner on medium heat and add in another half a tablespoon of oil or butter. Put a tortilla into your pan followed by a fourth a cup of your favorite cheese. I used a cheddar blend. Half your scrambled eggs, half a tablespoon of bacon bits, some chives, another fourth a cup of your favorite cheese and another tortilla. From here, I like to press it down to compact everything then let it cook for two to three minutes. Flip it over and let that side cook for an additional two to three minutes. Repeat for your next quesadilla with the other half of your ingredients and in the end, it should look like this. A couple tips to this one. Number one, you can use whatever tortillas you want. Regular, mini or even a small low carb 50 calorie ones. I'll put the nutritional breakdowns for all of these including other substitutes and metric conversions for every ingredient on the website which is always linked up here or below in the description. Number two, top it with guacamole, sour cream or plain greek yogurt which is a great sour cream substitute, salsa and so on to level these up even more. Number three, add whatever you want to this. Don't like bacon bits? Don't use them. Make spices, seasoning, sauces, vegetables and so on. Number four, you can easily make the quesadilla portion in the air fryer if you want to cut down on some of the fat in the recipe. And number five, this recipe makes two quesadillas so if you want just one, you can half it. The winner of our last testing your guesstimating was, bang, congrats to you. For this week's testing your guesstimating, we're going to go with this many chives inside this small bowl. Guess how much you think the entire thing weighs in grams in the comments below. The closest one to it in grams will win a shirt or shaker. One guess per person. With that said, thank you for watching. Hit that thumbs up button for more quick recipe ideas like this one.
