Shredded Chicken & Egg Protein Breakfast Quesadilla

Perfect for: A savory, high-protein breakfast or quick post-workout meal that feels like comfort food but fuels like a pro.

Ingredients (Single Serving):

• 2 large eggs

• ⅓ cup cottage cheese (your go-to brand)

• 3 oz shredded chicken (plain or lightly seasoned)

• 1 oz quesadilla cheese (or mozzarella if substituting)

• 1 large tortilla (whole wheat or low-carb if preferred)

• 2 tablespoons fresh guacamole

Directions for your Breakfast Quesadilla:

1. Scramble the eggs: In a heated non-stick skillet, cook the eggs until fully set but still soft.

2. Add creaminess: Fold in cottage cheese at the very end so it gently warms but doesn’t fully melt.

3. Assemble the breakfast quesadilla:

   • Lay your tortilla flat in the skillet.

   • Spread the cooked eggs and cottage cheese mixture evenly over one half of the tortilla.

   • Top with shredded chicken and quesilla cheese.

   • Fold the tortilla in half over the filling.

4. Cook & flip: Let the quesadilla cook for 1-2 minutes until the bottom is golden, then carefully flip and cook the other side until crispy and the cheese is melted.

5. Serve hot: Cut into wedges and top with fresh guacamole.
