Egg and Bacon? Yes. Definitely. Egg and Bacon Quesadilla – say what? Or perhaps your reaction is why? I'm not absolutely certain that there is a why – the idea just popped into my head and I thought I'd try it!

I made this quesadilla just for me but it would be easy to make in larger quantities. I used:

• Two small low carb tortillas My preferred tortillas right now are Mission Carb Balance (Fajita size).
• Shredded cheese (I use either Chihuahua or a Mexican blend)
• Cooked bacon
• One egg – scrambled with salt and black pepper
• Sour cream to serve

How to Make a Low Carb Egg and Bacon Quesadilla

I usually make my quesadillas under the broiler (overhead grill) because it just feels easier to melt the cheese without burning the tortilla. I placed a pile of cheese onto one tortilla and put it under the broiler to melt.

Meanwhile I quickly scrambled the egg in a small saucepan. One egg scrambles REALLY fast!! Once the cheese had melted, I laid the bacon over the cheese, then spread the cooked egg over the top and a little extra cheese to act as “glue”.

Finally, I topped it all with the remaining tortilla, and placed it back under the heat until crispy. Then I flipped it over and cooked the other side.

I cut it into quarters and served the egg and bacon quesadilla with a little sour cream.

The combination of flavors and textures was rather fantastic – and it was probably the most filling quesadilla I've ever had!!
