Ingredients
4 pieces cooked bacon, coarsely chopped
1 cup shredded extra sharp cheddar cheese
2 large flour tortillas
½ medium Granny Smith apple, thinly sliced
canola oil cooking spray
Directions
Heat a skillet over medium heat. Once hot, lightly spray the cooking surface with canola oil.
Place one flour tortilla flat in the center of the skillet. Quickly scatter half of the shredded cheddar cheese over the tortilla, then arrange the apple slices evenly across it, and sprinkle the chopped bacon on top.
Place the second flour tortilla directly on top, pressing gently. Lightly spray the top of the quesadilla with canola oil.
Cook until the bottom tortilla is golden brown and crispy, about 2 to 3 minutes. Carefully flip the quesadilla and cook the other side until golden and crispy, another 2 to 3 minutes. The cheese should be fully melted.
Transfer to a cutting board and let cool for about 1 minute. Cut into wedges and serve warm.
Comments
Every ingredient is stocked at any major Charlotte grocer—bacon, cheddar, tortillas, and granny smith apples are staples at Harris Teeter, Food Lion, Kroger, and Walmart—making this a true weeknight grab-and-go. The actual prep time is closer to 12-15 minutes once you cook the bacon and slice the apple, so the stated eight minutes ignores bacon cooking time, but the dish still lands well for a busy morning. At roughly $3.50 to $4.50 for two servings, the bacon and cheese drive the cost, but it's reasonable for a protein-forward breakfast. These quesadillas don't reheat gracefully—they turn soggy—so they're best eaten fresh, and while they're not fussy, they do require active pan time and can't simmer unattended.
