Breakfast Quesadillas with bacon, egg and cheese. An easy breakfast or dinner idea your family is sure to LOVE!

For as much as I love making and creating new recipes, I must admit that, just like most moms out there, there are nights when it’s a real struggle to think of something to make for dinner.

Whenever I’m feeling this way, I usually turn to breakfast for dinner–Brinner! I can count on having all of the ingredients I need to whip up something really easy that my family will love, like these simple Egg and Sausage Breakfast Taquitos, or my favorite 5-minute Blender Whole Wheat Pancakes. (Both recipes are freezer friendly, by the way. So, if you don’t have any time at all you can pull some from the freezer and heat them up for dinner!)

If you’re ever looking for breakfast for dinner recipes JonesBrinner.com has tons, including a few that I can’t wait to try, like these Bacon French Toast Sticks and BLT Breakfast Sandwiches. And if you’re loving the idea of a breakfast quesadilla you should also try these Jalapeño and Canadian Bacon Breakfast Quesadillas.

My kids love quesadillas in any form, but I usually like to add something more than just cheese to them to make them more filling and substantive. These Breakfast Quesadillas are filled with scrambled eggs, cheese, and the tastiest chopped bacon around.

I always have to cook an extra few slices of the Jones Dairy Farm Cherrywood Smoked Bacon because my family just can’t wait until dinner is ready. We’re a total bacon-loving family, especially my boys. I also really like their Turkey Bacon, which you could easily substitute in this recipe.
