  3. Pour the whisked eggs into the hot pan and cook for 2-3 minutes, occasionally stirring until slightly runny.

  5. Carefully flip the quesadilla after 30 seconds and add remaining bacon and cheese before folding it in half.
  6. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, flipping once more until both sides are crispy and cheese is melted.
  7. Remove from the pan, let cool slightly, and slice into wedges. Serve warm.
