Loaded Sheet Pan Breakfast Quesadillas
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 3 cups raw veggies of choice (I used a variety of bell peppers, onions, mushrooms, and spinach)
- 12 eggs
- salt and pepper to taste
- 8 large whole wheat tortillas
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup green onions thinly sliced
- Toppings of choice: Pico de gallo, salsa, sour cream, Greek yogurt, avocado, etc.
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400F.
- Add olive oil to large skillet and heat over medium high. Add veggies of choice and cook until soft, about 5-10 minutes. Remove from skillet and set aside.
- Add eggs to skillet (if using) and scramble until fully cooked, approximately 3-5 minutes., breaking up eggs with a spatula or wooden spoon. Lightly season eggs with salt and pepper.
- On a 9×13 baking sheet, place 6 tortillas around the edges of the pan, so that half of each tortilla hangs over the side.
- Top tortillas with eggs, veggies, shredded cheese, and sliced green onions.
- Place another tortillas in the center on top of the filling and fold each tortilla towards the center.
- Place a second baking sheet on top of the folded tortillas. Place in oven and bake for 10-15 minutes, or until tortillas begin to turn crispy.
- Remove top baking sheet and bake for an additional 5 minutes.
- Slice into 8 rectangles and serve warm with toppings of choice.

CUSTOMIZING YOUR LOADED SHEET PAN QUESADILLAS
The options to customize your Loaded Sheet Pan Breakfast Quesadillas are pretty limitless, so feel free to swap in whatever ingredients you love most, or have on hand for a quick meal. Need inspiration? Here are some fan favorites:
- Swap out the protein: Although eggs are a fan favorite for breakfast, you can always experiment with throwing other protein in too such as beans or scrambled tofu.
- Add heat: If you like heat, you can add in a drizzle of sriracha or hot sauce, sliced jalapeños, or a sprinkle of cayenne. you would like to kick up the heat, feel free to add extra jalapeños or a few shakes of cayenne.
- Change the batch size: You can easily adapt this recipe to use a smaller or larger-sized sheet pan with fewer or more ingredients if you prefer. Baking time should be roughly the same —although it may bake more quickly depending on the ingredients you add. Keep an eye closely so it doesn’t burn!
