Breakfast Quesadilla Ingredients

Breakfast quesadilla ingredients: Whole grain tortillas, mushrooms, baby bell peppers, onions, grape tomatoes, and just eggs mixed with flour and baking powder.
  • Whole Grain Quesadillas: I make my own quesadillas using a great recipe from Plantful Path That is oil free and whole grain.
  • Mushrooms: I used cremini mushrooms.
  • Baby Bell Peppers: Baby bell peppers are both sweet and come in a variety of beautiful colors.
  • White Onion: White onions are pungent in flavor, but sweeten when cooked and caramelized.
  • Tomatoes: I chose grape tomatoes because they have fewer seeds and hold less water than other tomatoes. I left the tomatoes raw instead of mixing them with other vegetables.
  • Just eggs + baking powder + flour: I chose to use only eggs for this breakfast quesadilla. I’ve found that adding a small amount of flour and baking powder just helps make the eggs fluffier when cooking.
  • Black Salt (Optional): black saltknown Kala Namak or Himalayan black salt, available in India. It comes from salt mines in India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal and other Himalayan locations. It gives the vegetarian breakfast quesadilla a sulfur flavor that tastes like eggs.

Substitute breakfast quesadilla ingredients

  • Choose any tortilla, corn or flour, homemade or store bought.
  • Try baby portobello mushrooms or any mushroom of your choice.
  • As an alternative to white onions, yellow or red onions taste great.
  • Cherry or Roma tomatoes are similar to grape tomatoes.
  • Instead of just eggs, try vegan tofu scramble or chickpea omelet batter.
  • Omit black salt if you don’t like the taste of eggs.
  • Add some black beans and salsa for a Mexican breakfast sandwich.
  • Any mix of vegetables works great with this recipe.
  • Add your favorite vegan cheese, or try my favorite vegan cheese sauce.

How to Make a Vegan Breakfast Quesadilla

Measuring tortillas for a vegan breakfast quesadilla recipe in a skillet.

First, choose a pan that matches the size of the chosen tortilla. For example, if you’re using small corn tortillas, choose a small, omelet-sized skillet. Then, place the tortilla in the pan so that it fits perfectly. Once you get the perfect fit, remove the tortilla and set it aside.

I'm sauteing mushrooms, onions and peppers in a pan on the stove.

Since I like to cook my vegetables before adding them to my breakfast quesadilla, I use the same skillet to sauté the onions, mushrooms, and bell peppers. I like raw tomatoes, so I don’t include them in the mix.

Meanwhile, just whisk the eggs with the flour and baking powder and set aside. Then, remove the roasted vegetables and reduce the heat to medium-low. Just add egg mixture, tofu or chickpea batter (whichever you choose). Just pour half a cup of the egg mixture into the pan.

Pour ½ cup of the egg mixture into a skillet over medium-high heat.

Just add ¼ roasted vegetables and ¼ raw tomatoes to the egg.

Just cook the egg omelette until the bottom is browned and almost all the liquid is cooked off, stirring the edges and sides with a spatula to cook most of the omelette.

Place the tortilla directly on top of the cooked Just Egg Omelet

Now, top the cooked egg and vegetable mixture with a tortilla.

Flip the tortilla and just the egg into the skillet, so that the tortilla is on the bottom of the pan.

Next, flip the Just Eggs and tortillas into the pan using a spatula and cook for a few minutes, toasting the tortillas and cooking the rest of the Just Eggs.

Just fold the tortilla inside the egg.

Fold one side of the tortilla in half. Remove from skillet, and cut in half.

advice

  • Make the batter ahead of time and add roasted veggies and whip together for a quick and easy weeknight breakfast.
  • I just used oat flour and baking powder to make the egg product fluffier. It cooks better when these two products are added to the mix.
  • Use a smaller pan when using smaller tortillas, such as corn tortillas. The omelet should be the same size as the tortilla. To measure accurately, shape the tortillas in a non-stick pan before starting.
  • Just add raw vegetables to cooked eggs for a quick breakfast option.
  • Try using a vegetable chopper Save some time in the kitchen.
  • Although it says that not only eggs can be frozen, it is easy to freeze. I use Souper Cubes, small-sized, for baking and other recipes 2 tablespoons Just to freeze eggs. Thaw overnight in refrigerator before use.
