How Do You Make a Keto Bacon and Egg Breakfast Quesadilla?
To make these Tasty Keto Bacon and Egg Breakfast Quesadilla, preheat oven to 400 F. Then cover a pizza pan with Parchment Paper (NOT wax paper). Mix the Cheeses together, then evenly spread them over the parchment paper (in a circle shape). Bake the cheese shell for 5 minutes. Pour off any extra oil as soon as it comes out of the oven.
Place the scrambled eggs and fried bacon over half of the cheese shell. Then add the diced tomato and the chopped green onion.
Fold the Cheese shell in half over the bacon and eggs. Press it firmly, then return it to the oven for another 4- 5 minutes. I let cheese shell cool for a minute then flipped it over before putting the filling onto it. This step isn’t necessary but I found that it made the quesadilla look a little prettier.

WHAT IS THE KETOGENIC DIET?
The ketogenic diet (often called keto) is a very low-carb, high-fat diet that shares similarities to paleo, Whole30, and Atkins. It involves drastically reducing carbohydrate intake, and replacing it with fat. When your body switches to burning fat for its primary fuel source, that’s when you hit ketosis.
While on the Keto diet you’re supposed to get at least 70 percent of your calories from fat, 15 to 25 percent from protein, and 10 percent from carbohydrates. You’re supposed to avoid all grains, legumes, root vegetables, fruit, (except berries) and sugar.
