If making all 4 breakfast quesadillas at once, prepare a baking sheet and place cooked quesadillas in the oven at 325 to keep them warm.

Notes

Make the batter ahead of time and add the sauteed vegetables and whisk together for a quick and easy breakfast during the week.

I used oat flour and baking powder to make the JUST Egg product fluffier. It cooks better when these two products are added to the mix.

Use a smaller pan when using a smaller tortilla, like a corn tortilla. The omelette should be the same size as the tortilla. To measure correctly, size the tortilla into the non-stick pan before beginning.

Add raw vegetables to the cooking JUST Egg for a quicker breakfast.

Try using a vegetable chopper to save some time in the kitchen.

Although it says JUST Egg cannot be frozen, it is easy to freeze. I use Souper Cubes, the smaller size, to freeze 2 Tablespoons of JUST Egg for baking and other recipes. Allow thawing overnight in the refrigerator before using.
