Let the struggle to scramble out of the door in time not give you the jitters (you may feel a bit out of touch with the once-familiar school run) with these make-ahead breakfast ideas that could save you time and a whole lot of hassle. Ingredients: (for 1 quesadilla, serves 2) · 2 tortillas or large whole-wheat Flat bread · 1 tablespoon butter/cooking spray · 2 eggs · 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese · 2 tablespoons chopped turkey bacon, diced (or more, for a meatier quesadilla) · 2 tablespoons canned sweet corn · 1 tablespoon each of onion, mushroom, green and red bell pepper, chopped · salt to taste Method 1. In a bowl, whisk together all the wet ingredients, except butter. 2. Coat a large skillet with cooking spray or 1 tablespoon of melted butter. (It will help to have a pan with a base the exact size of the tortilla). 3. Put one tortilla in the pan and let it sizzle slighty in the butter on medium heat. 4. Spoon the egg mixture onto the tortilla and let it set halfway through. 5. Top with the other tortilla, allowing it to stick to the egg mixture. 6. Cook over low heat for 1-2 minutes on each side or until the mixture is cooked through to your liking. Cut into quarters. Place cool quesadilla portions into freezer bags and freeze till you need them. When ready to use, heat them in an oven or in the microwave (about 45 second – 60 second per serving).
