This loaded breakfast quesadilla recipe is guaranteed to feed a crowd. Whether you make it at home, or while camping, it’s sure to satisfy the hungriest of appetites.
Although this recipe for breakfast quesadillas uses a combination of bacon and pork sausage, you can easily make it a vegetarian quesadilla by adding plant-based sausage patties.
This is one of my favorite flat top grill recipes to make while camping, especially since you can easily prep the ingredients beforehand. I keep them chilled in Ziplock bags or plastic containers. Then, when it comes time to eat, you have all of your ingredients ready to go!
What’s in a loaded breakfast quesadilla?
- Eggs
- Sausage patties
- Bacon
- Shredded cheese (we used a mixture of Carolina reaper, cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses)
- Sour cream
- Pico de Gallo salsa or Hot Sauce
- Chopped chives
- Oil or butter for frying the tortillas
I prepared this loaded breakfast quesadilla recipe on my portable Camp Chef 600 grill. It folds down nicely into its own carrying case, making setup a breeze when you get to the campground.
When preparing these on an outdoor flat top grill, it’s helpful to have a melting dome. That way, once you have your fillings in place and the tortilla folded, you can cover the quesadillas so the cheese melts evenly.
I hope you enjoy this loaded breakfast quesadilla recipe. This recipe makes enough for two people, but you can easily double or triple it for a crowd. It’s certainly a hearty morning dish that will get you fueled up for a day of hiking on the trail!
