I love having a protein rich, egg breakfast in the morning. But, to be honest, sometimes eggs by themselves get a bit boring. So this morning I decided to mix things up a bit and combine two of my favorite meals – an omelet and a quesadilla – to create a breakfast hybrid that packed in a ton of flavor, protein, and fiber to start my day off right.
The best part about this quesadilla is that almost every member of your family will love it and you can feel good about serving it to them as well! In this version, I chose to flavor the breakfast quesadilla with a variety of fresh peppers, but you can vary the vegetables to include everything from onions, to mushrooms, broccoli, or any vegetable that appeals to your early morning taste buds.
Another bonus of this great breakfast- you can make it in advance! Whip up a few batches, slice them, and then refrigerate or freeze for an on-the-go breakfast that fuels you for whatever the day brings! (And there’s no reason that this meal has to be a breakfast only option either- it can make a fast dinner for those hectic nights as well!)
