“Wake up and smell the coffee”, or a “cuppa cha” in my case. Ham, tomatoes, and cheese in a quesadilla cooking on the stove…mmm! This is enough to bring the boys scrambling out to the kitchen for their perennial weekend favorite. They make short work of their share and are out of the kitchen as fast as they appeared. Best of all, I don’t have to work at the stove for once a week in the morning. Ro-Ri San wields the spatula while I get to sit down and enjoy my cup of tea. Saturday mornings are just the best!

Ro-Ri San pretty much uses whatever lunch meats are available in the refrigerator. Often times that means ham or sliced turkey. Occasionally there is pastrami or salami. They are all good. The same thing with vegetables. Tomatoes are a mainstay but sometimes salad leaves also make an appearance. In short, it is a “man about the kitchen” mode of operation.

Since my discovery of these brown rice tortillas some years back, we are never without a supply of it. Apart from it being gluten-free, we actually prefer them to the regular wheat or corn tortillas. They are less chewy and crisp up nicely when pan fried. In my humble opinion, they are a healthier option. Of course you can use regular tortillas if you prefer.

This Gluten-Free Ham and Cheese Breakfast Quesadillas first appeared on January 9, 2010 when Roti n Rice was only 10 days old. Although I showed the step-by-step pictures, I did not write up the recipe. Since then we have had many breakfast quesadillas. The recipe remains pretty much the same. Of late though, Ro-Ri San has made it even more scrumptious with the addition of eggs. The boys and I are happy campers. 🙂

    What a good morning! We, too, use quesadillas as a way of using up whatever’s in the fridge, but I’ve never made them for breakfast before. Your technique looks a lot like how I fill crepes, but I like the idea of brown rice tortillas as it sounds much healthier. Haven’t seen them here (we get wholewheat or corn) but will have a look in the health food shop.

      These are wonderful for breakfast! Hubby does a really good job with them.

      The brown rice tortillas are great! We really like them as they do not have the floury and doughy taste.

    This just reminds me of Murtabak (if only the filling was spiced lamb mince) ;p

    That said, you are lucky that someone made breakfast.

    Nice twist with the eggs – I have never thought of that! I must give this a try. My kids already love ham/cheese quesadillas, and they love eggs too. Must keep an eye out for the rice tortilla. Nice picture too!
