2 teaspoons olive oil
1 small onion, diced
3 cups broccoli florets, cut into VERY small pieces
4 eggs
¼ teaspoon salt
1⁄4 teaspoon pepper
1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
Four 12” tortillas

Here are the preparation steps for these popular Broccoli Cheddar Breakfast Quesadillas:

1. Heat a large pan over medium heat. Add the oil and the onion, and cook for 5 or so minutes, until onion is cooked through.

2. Add the broccoli and cook for 5 more minutes, until bright green and tender.

3. While cooking the veggies, beat the eggs with the salt and pepper. Add to the pan and cook, stirring frequently, for 2-3 minutes, until eggs are cooked through.

4. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.

5. In a clean pan, assemble quesadillas: on half of the tortilla, add ⅔ cup of egg mixture, topped with ⅓ cup cheddar cheese. Fold the tortilla over on itself and press firmly.

6. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side until golden and crispy.

7. Remove from heat and cool completely on a wire rack.
