- Pepper – Adds mild heat and balance. Fresh cracked black pepper gives the best flavor.
- Bacon – Adds crispy texture and smoky flavor. You can substitute with breakfast sausage, diced ham, or leftover steak.
- Cheddar Cheese – Sharp cheddar adds classic flavor and melts beautifully. Freshly shredded cheese melts better than pre-shredded.
- Monterey Jack Cheese – Super creamy and mild, this cheese helps create that perfect gooey melt. Pepper Jack works great if you want a little spice.

How to Make Breakfast Quesadilla on a Blackstone Griddle
Step 1 – Heat the Griddle – Preheat the Blackstone Grill over medium high heat (approximately 400 degrees F). Spread the butter onto the grill.
Step 2 – Cook Bacon – Place the bacon on one side of the grill and cook until done and slightly crispy.
Step 3 – Scramble Eggs – On the other side of the grill, crack the eggs onto the grill. Season them with salt and pepper. Then scramble the eggs.
Step 4 – Remove Bacon & Eggs – Remove the cooked bacon and scrambled eggs from the grill.
Step 5 – Top Tortilla – Then place the tortillas on the grill. Top each tortilla with a small amount of each cheese. Then layer the eggs and bacon on top and then add more cheese. Carefully fold each tortilla in half making a half moon shape.
Step 6 – Cook Golden Brown – Cook until one side of the tortilla is golden brown (1-2 minutes). Flip and then cook until the other side is golden brown as well (1-2 minutes). Watch them closely as they will brown quickly.
Step 7 – Serve and Enjoy – Remove the quesadillas onto a cutting board. Slice them and then they are ready to serve and enjoy.
What Temperature Should You Cook Breakfast Quesadillas On?
Cook your Blackstone at medium heat (around 375–400°F).
Too hot and the tortilla will burn before the cheese melts. Too low and it won’t get crispy.

- Cooking Bacon – Cook the bacon until the bacon is cooked and crispy. You can also use leftover bacon and skip the step on cooking the bacon the griddle.
- Cooking Quesadilla – Cook the quesadilla on both sides. This allows for the tortilla to get crispy on both sides. Before cooking fold tortilla in a half moon shape.
