Ham, Egg and Cheese Breakfast Quesadillas
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup diced ham
- 1 cup chopped broccoli florets
- 4 large eggs, lightly beaten
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 2 green onions, thinly sliced
- 4 4- inch whole wheat tortilla
- ½ cup shredded reduced fat cheddar cheese
- ½ cup raspberries
- ½ cup blueberries
- 4 tangerines, peeled and segmented
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add garlic, and cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in ham and broccoli until broccoli is tender and bright green, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add eggs to the skillet and cook, stirring gently using a silicone or heat-proof spatula, until they just begin to set; season with salt and pepper, to taste. Continue cooking until thickened and no visible liquid egg remains, about 3-5 minutes. Stir in green onions.
- Layer half of each tortilla with the egg mixture; sprinkle with cheese. Fold in half and place onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Place into oven and bake until the cheese has melted, about 5-6 minutes.
- Place quesadillas, raspberries, blueberries and tangerines into meal prep containers.*

I definitely forgot these were in the oven for like 15+ mins and accidentally made hard shelled tacos that kept shape really well. So apparently you can’t do anything to ruin these even if you “burn” them. They soften up after they’re reheated too so all is fair
These are so delicious. Very quick to make and I will be putting this in my regular meal prep rotation. Thanks so much for this great recipe!
Great. Did an easy mod to this. cooked the eggs with the garlic. Put everything on the tortilla. Tossed it in the microwave 30 sec( covered) or a bit more when time to eat. The rest stay wrapped until time to microwave eat.
These sound great. I would think quesadillas would get soggy in the fridge. Do you reheat in a skillet? I have also never seen a 4 inch whole wheat tortilla…what brand are you using?
can you freeze these?
I like this recipe. amazing
Can I use frozen broccoli florets?
Cute. What type of containers are these in the photos? Love the compartments!
I like this recipe. amazing
I have purchased your meal prep cookbook and love it so much. I have made these quesadillas at least 5 times!
These are so yummy and they stay fresh! I was worried about how well they would hold up and have been pleasantly surprised. I made these using this exact recipe, just pan fried them instead of using an oven as my oven is very small. Thank you for the great recipe!
Now i know why the blog has this name. This looks amazing!
As someone who’s been trying to put on weight, this recipe is a godsend right now. Tweaked a bit for additional protein but one of my favourite breakfast meals now.
Also, the photography for this recipe is outstanding!
Thank you, Sam!
I’ve made these a couple times now. Very versatile recipe. Even the kids liked them. The garlic makes it, definitely don’t forget the garlic!
Thanks for sharing!
Hello,
Do you have a link to where you purchased the containers?
Thank You
You should be able to find these on Amazon. 🙂
Absolutely amazing.Thanks for a great recipe.
About to make these – they sound delicious! Will be using spinach instead of broccoli, because I can’t quite face broccoli first thing in the morning. Also, using Mexican four cheese blend, but using low-sodium ham. Thanks for all the delicious recipes – special ordering your new book at work tomorrow (I’m a bookseller).
We hope you’ll enjoy the new book!
Boy, these hit the spot! Everyone in the house has a different morning schedule, but can grab these at their leisure and have a solid breakfast! We swapped broccoli for peppers and added spinach.
Do you think these would freeze well if I made a large batch?
Thanks!
Freezing sounds like an amazing idea but unfortunately, I cannot answer this with certainty as I have never tried freezing this myself. Please use your best judgment for freezing and reheating.
These are yummy. I added a bit of sriracha 🙂 did you broil these, out of curiosity? My tortillas just browned right around the edges. I used whole wheat.
No, these were not broiled. 🙂
I just made these with different tortillas, but they didn’t brown at all. Any other ideas? Otherwise it’s delicious!
Did you use whole wheat tortilla?
I can’t stand broccoli. Any suggestions for another veggie? Spinach & mushroom?
My book is preordered. Can’t wait to receive it!
Spinach and/or mushrooms are great substitutes!
I haven’t seen 4 inch WW tortillas in the grocery store. What brand did you use?
My local grocery store carries them in the bakery aisle! 🙂
Any thoughts on doing a meal prep specific for for different diets? I am looking at starting a keto and I love meal prepping but no one out there has recipies for that.
TIA. Love your recipes, looking forward to the book.
I really have enjoyed your first cookbook. I really need to get on this meal prep bandwagon and I can’t wait to get your new cookbook to help me.
It’s the best!
Hey Im a college student and I love your meal prep so much. I now barely have a meal plan and have saved myself thousands of dollars by meal prepping. I could also lose weight too if I stopped snacking :b. I also preordered your book!
