After a short stint on the spring cooking D.L., it's time to pick up the spatula again and see what to slide back on the fry pan...in this case homemade breakfast quesadillas, a great little recipe found out on Ree Drummond's award winning website The Pioneer Woman (http://thepioneerwoman.com). For any cook that loves a fully visual step-by-step approach to cooking easy, edible – and totally unfearful of butter – food, this is the best site I've ever seen. Ree Drummond's story is that she calls herself an accidental housewife to four kids and a real Oklahoman cowboy (called The Marlboro Man). She has captured the essence of the ranch not only in her simple yet sophisticated blog, but through her personal style of food photography.
Her entry for Breakfast Quesadillas becomes a long and colorful sequence of pics, starting with sizzling bacon, then diced up onions and peppers, multiple pics of the process of scrambling eggs (don't forget to keep the bacon chunks!), the slicing of scooped avocados, and finally the assembling above onto a well-buttered frypan, which gives that tortilla its crisp shell. She finishes with a pic of the plating,
then the recipe itself follows with instructions. The eggs end up giving these quesadillas great filler and the avocado texture is smooth and rich but light up against the crisp heaviness of the bacon. A dollop of sour cream and pico de gallo, and you think you might have your very own home version of authentic Mexican sincronizada de quesos.
