Why You’ll Love This Recipe

They come together quickly for a delicious dairy-free breakfast quesadilla.

Only 4 ingredients

A perfect recipe to satisfy a savory breakfast craving just like our savory breakfast bowl.

Ingredients

Just Egg: A liquid egg substitute.

Plant-Based Shredded Cheese:  we used Cheddar but a vegan Mozzarella or Pepper Jack would work great too. 

Tortillas: we use the large Mission or Trader Joes gluten-free tortillas.

Vegan Butter

Salt & Pepper to taste

See recipe card for quantities.

Equipment

Use a non-stick pan; so the eggs don’t stick.

Instructions

COOKING TIP: Allow your vegan cheese to sit until room temperature. It melts better at room temperature.

Preheat a medium-sized nonstick skillet to medium-high, add butter until melted.

Pour in the Just Egg mixture and cook, seasoning with salt & pepper. Stir often, until the eggs are just set and fluffy, about 4 to 5 minutes.

Transfer the mixture to a bowl. Gently stir in the parsley.

To cook the quesadilla: In a large skillet (we quickly wash the skillet from cooking the eggs to keep dish clutter down). 

Add a little butter and then warm the tortilla over medium heat. Once the pan and tortilla are warm.

Sprinkle cheese over one-half of the tortilla. Place lid on pan and cook for ~ 30 seconds to melt cheese.

Top the cheese with vegan scrambled eggs, then top the scrambled eggs with more cheese and fold in half.

Use a large spatula to get under the tortilla and flip it, cook until the second side is golden and crispy about 15-30 seconds.

Remove from the skillet  and serve with your favorite salsa and/or vegan sour cream and slices of avocados.

Storage

  • Refrigerator – you can store quesadillas in the fridge for up to 3 days. Let them cool completely first and store in an airtight food container.
  • Reheat – reheat the quesadillas in the oven or air fryer. Preheat the oven to 350℉ and place the leftover quesadillas on aluminum foil. Reheat the quesadillas until warm or about 5 minutes.
  • Freezer – to freeze, wrap in foil and then put in a freezer friendly ziploc storage bag. You can store them in the freezer for a month. To reheat from frozen. Preheat oven to 400℉. Place on baking sheet and cook until warm about ten minutes.
