Okay, here we go! This is so easy, I promise you can’t mess it up (well, almost!). Just follow these steps, and you’ll be chowing down on a Pumpkin Spice Breakfast Quesadilla in no time!

Preparing the Pumpkin Spice Egg Mixture

First, grab a bowl – any bowl will do! Crack in those 2 large eggs.
Next, add in the 2 tablespoons of milk, 1/4 teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice (don’t be shy!), and 1/4 cup of pumpkin puree.
Now, whisk it all together! You’ll want to whisk until everything is combined and it looks nice and smooth. Don’t worry if there are a few little lumps, it’ll be fine! You are looking for a nice even orange color.

Cooking the Pumpkin Spice Eggs

Okay, now grab a skillet – non-stick is your friend here! Put it over medium heat.
Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in the skillet. Make sure it coats the whole pan!
Pour in your pumpkin spice egg mixture. Now, this is important: cook it, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are set. You want them to look cooked, but not dry. Think scrambled eggs, but a little bit softer. Be careful not to burn them!

Assembling the Pumpkin Spice Breakfast Quesadilla

Place one tortilla in the skillet.
Sprinkle 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the tortilla. Get it all the way to the edges!
Top with the cooked pumpkin spice egg mixture. Spread it out so it covers the cheese.
Place the second tortilla on top. Now it looks like a quesadilla!

Cooking the Pumpkin Spice Quesadilla

Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and the cheese is melted and gooey. Keep an eye on it! You don’t want to burn the tortilla.
Use a spatula to flip the quesadilla carefully.
Once both sides are golden brown and the cheese is melted, take it out of the skillet.
Cut it into wedges and serve immediately. Yum!

Tips for the Perfect Pumpkin Spice Breakfast Quesadilla

Okay, so you’ve got the basics down, but wanna make it *amazing*? Here are a few little tricks I’ve learned to make your Pumpkin Spice Breakfast Quesadilla totally perfect:

Use a non-stick skillet! Seriously, it makes ALL the difference. Trust me on this one.
Don’t overcook the eggs! Nobody likes rubbery eggs. Aim for soft and slightly moist.
Use room-temperature tortillas. They’re easier to work with and won’t crack when you fold them.
Adjust the spices to your taste! If you want more pumpkin spice flavor, add a little extra. It’s your quesadilla, make it how you like it!
Use a spatula for easy flipping. Unless you’re some kind of quesadilla-flipping ninja, a spatula will save you from a cheesy mess.
