But before we dive into the recipe, let's talk about the inspiration behind this dish. The Muppets have been entertaining audiences of all ages for over six decades, and have remained a beloved part of popular culture.

Kermit Bacon, Egg, and Cheese Quesadilla
Ingredients
- 1 Spinach Tortilla burrito size
- 1 Corn Tortilla taco size
- 2 Eggs
- 1 tbs shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 Slices Bacon I used Hormel pre-cooked
- Canned Black Beans
- Red Bell Pepper
Instructions
- Place one egg into a pot of water and bring to a boil.
- Once the water is boiling, cook for 12 minutes
- Peel your boiled egg and slice in half lengthwise. These will become your frog eyes.
- To shape Kermit's eyes I used a Wilton "candy corn" cookie cutter but you can freehand as well.
- Fold your spinach tortilla in half.
- With a sharp knife and using the same "candy corn" cookie cutter as a guide cut out Kermit's face.
- Using the same cookie cutter and knife cut three sections of bacon to form Kermit's triangular mouth.
- Crumble the remaining bacon.
- Scramble your second egg with the crumbled bacon and cheese.
- Place your scrambled egg on top of one half of your spinach tortilla and top with the other half.
- Your finished tortilla should then go on your serving plate.
- Cut Kermit's collar from the corn tortilla and place it under the quesadilla chin.
- Place the mouth and eyes on next.
- Cut a small piece of red bell pepper for the tongue.
- Kermit's pupils are one canned black bean cut in half lengthwise with two pieces of bean skins on either side.
- You can use the rest of the ingredients for fajita, burrito or taco night!

This is too cute! I agree that my family will enjoy eating this for breakfast and I’m sure we’ll all have a few laughs as well.
When I saw the title with Kermit bacon, I said it can’t be Kermit the frog, it must be some new kind of bacon. So surprised to see it IS Kermit the frog!!
Kermit bacon…now that’s hilarious! I love how cute this is. Sadly my kids don’t know kermit!
This is the cutest! My daughter really isn’t picky, but I’ll still make this for her. She’ll be amused!
That is adorable! When I was a kid come at the frog was probably one of my favorite characters. It would be fun to make this with my kiddo.
Very cute idea and great way to get the kids to eat. Sure many families will be making this meal.

What a cute way to get little ones to eat their spinach. Plus it features and iconic childhood friend, everyone loves Kermit!
This is a super cute quesadilla! My daughter was a big fan of the Muppets when she was younger.
Wow this recipe sounds delicious. I am always trying to make breakfast more appetizing and more interesting for the girls. This sounds like a recipe I should try.
This is the cutest thing. I wish I could have thought to do this with my nephew when he was younger. When it comes to kids, you got to be creative at times with food.
This is such a cute idea. I’m thinking this and the Muppets movie would be a great day.
This is such clever idea! I bet this would work really well at some sort of themed party or movie night.
This would be so fun to make with my kids on a weekend morning! I try to do fun stuff like this with my little ones while they will still have fun with it. Also getting them to eat eggs for breakfast is always a good way to start the day!
