Breakfast Quesadillas are filled with fluffy scrambled eggs, crispy bacon, and melted cheese inside a golden, crispy tortilla. They’re an easy air fryer breakfast that comes together in about 10 minutes.
We have breakfast for dinner at least a couple of times a month, and this is an easy one when I want something everyone can customize. I can change the meat, cheese, or add-ins depending on what I have in the fridge.
Why I Love Breakfast Quesadillas
About the Ingredients ⭐
- Eggs: Scrambled eggs work best for an easy-to-eat filling.
- Bacon: Cook and chop the bacon before assembling. I like using my Air Fryer Bacon.
- Cheese: Cheddar or a Mexican cheese blend melts nicely inside the quesadillas.
- Flour Tortillas: Use soft flour tortillas that fold easily without tearing.

How To Make Breakfast Quesadillas
Step 1: Place a flour tortilla on a flat surface. Layer cheese, scrambled eggs, bacon, and another layer of cheese on one half.
Step 2: Fold the tortilla in half and lightly spray the outside with cooking spray or olive oil.
Step 3: Preheat the air fryer to 390°F and place the quesadilla in the basket.
Step 4: Air fry for 5 minutes, flip, and cook for another 3 minutes, until golden brown and crispy.
Step 5: Remove, slice, and serve warm.
Tips I Found Helpful 💙
- Use cooked fillings: Make sure the eggs and bacon are fully cooked before assembling.
- Add cheese on both sides: Cheese under and over the filling helps hold everything together.
- Don’t overfill: Too much filling can make the quesadilla difficult to flip.
- Lightly spray the tortilla: A little cooking spray or olive oil helps the outside get golden and crispy.
- Flip carefully: Use a wide spatula or tongs to keep the filling inside when turning the quesadilla.
