Breakfast Quesadillas

We're three days into our kitchen remodel and I'm still riding the high of this whole overwhelming experience.  I know that the progress will slow and even pause for brief periods of time but as for now, I'm in awe of the progress and transformation that happens on a daily basis of the space previously known as my kitchen.  😂

​Yesterday we witnessed the birth of our new pantry! 😅 Even though I spent hours studying and designing this pantry - there's nothing like seeing it all come together in 3D.  This is getting real!  So long bedroom closet - hello kitchen pantry. 

Send me all of your pantry organization tips now.  I'm going to need all the help I can get.  ​

I really didn't know what to expect my kitchen to look like during our remodel phase.  I anticipated that my appliances would be relocated to other areas of the house for the duration of the demolition. ♨️ I really had no hope of being able to use my oven or microwave for several weeks and I was fully prepared to walk to the garage every time I wanted to get something out of the refrigerator. 🥪🚶🏻‍♀️

Much to my surprise, my amazing contractor set up a temporary work space in the kitchen with a working oven, microwave and refrigerator!  #It'sthelittlethings.  We might not have a countertops or water in the space but I'm so not complaining - we have a heat source and a frig and that's all I need.  😁🚰
​
Although there's no cake baking or gourmet cupcake making right now, I am actually cooking a few things using the stove and a few essential utensils and pans that I didn't box up with the rest of the kitchen.  You'd be surprised at what I can make with one skillet, a whisk and a bowl.  If you happen to find yourself in a similar situation (or if you just like amazing breakfast foods) I recommend that you make these breakfast quesadillas.  They're delicious and they require very little kitchen equipment.  

Breakfast Quesadillas
6 eggs
¼ cup milk 
Salt and pepper 
4 Tablespoons unsalted butter
6 slices bacon , cooked, drained, and roughly chopped
¾ cup shredded cheddar cheese , divided
6 medium soft tortilla shells

Whisk together milk, eggs, salt and pepper. 

Melt 2 T. butter in skillet.  Add eggs and cook until set.  Transfer to a bowl.

Melt 2 T. butter in skillet.  Add tortilla and top with 1/4 c. cheese.  

Sprinkle eggs over half of the tortilla.

Lay bacon over eggs. 

Fold tortilla in half.  

Transfer to a cutting board.  

Cut into triangles. 

Now that we're doing dishes in the slop sink in the laundry room - we've switched to paper plates, silverware and cups.  It might not be the most eco-friendly way of dining - but it's the most practical, right now and I have a new appreciation for recipes like this one that are not only delicious but also require very few dishes.  😂

​Ciao!
