I'm on the search for different quick and easy breakfasts. We always fall back to the same two things: scrambled eggs or peanut butter, banana, and honey english muffins. We're always looking for a healthy alternative to quick and easy. It's just hard to find something with a good balance of protein and fiber to keep you fuller longer. Funny that I hardly ever ate breakfast growing up and now I can't live without it. Amazing what your body gets used to! Enter apple and cheese quesadillas. They're that easy. Ingredients grated cheese, to your desired amount - I used about a 1/4 cup 1/2 - 3/4 apple, peeled and sliced 2 whole wheat tortillas 1) Grate some cheese (I used Vermont sharp cheddar) and slice a peeled apple (I used something called a "Crisper" - it was green like a Granny Smith, but wasn't as tart. 2) In a dry pan (or you can butter it) place a whole wheat tortilla. Place a layer of cheese and apples down. Add a top tortilla. 3) Cook until both sides are toasted lightly brown and the cheese is melted. 4) Cut into 6 wedges with a pizza cutter. (Sorry no pictures. It was a hectic morning when I made these.) Enjoy! The Verdict My DH and I split one of these along with a fruit smoothie I made the same morning. The problem is I also had to make his lunch and didn't allow enough time to do all three and take pictures. That's why it was hectic. Next time I'll know! But I loved this breakfast quesadilla. It was something different. The apples were cut thin enough that they got a little soft but still retained a bite. And the salty sharp cheese was a nice complement to the sweet, tart apple. I can say, for the first time in a while, this breakfast paired with the smoothie kept me full all the way until lunch. Usually I get hungry again around 10 (eating breakfast around 7:30), but not this time. I made it all the way until 11:30. I will make these again! And I can't wait to try one out for Little One. I think he'll like it too. |
