Method

Preparing the Filling

1
Cook the Bacon
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon slices until crispy. Remove from skillet and place on a paper towel to drain excess grease. Once cooled, chop into small pieces.
2
Scramble the Eggs
In a bowl, whisk the eggs until well beaten. In the same skillet used for bacon, add a little bit of bacon grease or oil, and pour in the beaten eggs. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring gently until eggs are just set but still slightly soft. Remove from heat.
3
Prepare Home Fries
If using pre-cooked home fries, heat them in the skillet until warmed through. If making from scratch, dice potatoes and fry in oil until golden brown and tender. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Assembling the Quesadilla

4
Layer the Quesadilla
On one half of each flour tortilla, layer the scrambled eggs, chopped bacon, home fries, and shredded cheddar cheese. Fold the other half of the tortilla over to cover the filling.
5
Cook the Quesadilla
In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Place the folded quesadilla in the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the tortillas are golden brown and the cheese is melted.
6
Slice and Serve
Remove the quesadilla from the skillet and let it cool for a minute. Slice into wedges and serve warm, optionally with salsa or sour cream on the side.
