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.
