Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Bacon

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon slices until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and place on a paper towel to drain excess fat.

  2. 2

    Cook the Tater Tots

    In the same skillet with a little of the rendered bacon fat, add the tater tots and cook according to package instructions until golden and crispy, about 8-10 minutes. Stir occasionally for even cooking.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Egg

    In a separate small skillet, heat a little cooking oil over medium heat. Crack the egg into the skillet and season with salt and pepper. Cook until the whites are set, and the yolk is sunny-side up, about 3-4 minutes.

Assembling the Quesadilla

  1. 4

    Layer Ingredients

    On one flour tortilla, layer half of the cheddar cheese, followed by the cooked tater tots, crumbled bacon, and then the remaining cheddar cheese. Top with the second tortilla.

  2. 5

    Cook the Quesadilla

    Wipe the skillet clean and return it to medium heat. Place the assembled quesadilla in the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until the tortilla is golden brown and the cheese is melted.

Serving

  1. 6

    Serve Hot

    Once cooked, remove the quesadilla from the skillet and let it rest for a minute. Cut into wedges and serve topped with the sunny-side-up egg.
