Sausage And Egg Breakfast Quesadillas Ingredients:

You can get the full list of ingredients with measurements in the recipe card below.

• Sausage – Ground breakfast sausage is best because it already has that breakfast flavor.
• Cooking spray – Any type of cooking spray works.
• Flour tortillas – You want tortillas that fit in your pan.
• Cheddar cheese – You want a block of cheese that you shred yourself. Bagged, pre-shredded cheese has a coating on it so it doesn’t clump in the bag. But that means it doesn’t really melt well.
• Eggs – Large eggs work best.
• Tomato – A Roma tomato works best because it’s not liquidy, so it won’t soften your tortilla. An heirloom or beefsteak tomato would be good too.
• Green onion sprigs – This adds a little bit of color to your breakfast.

How To Make Sausage And Egg Breakfast Quesadillas:

Cut the casing off the sausage, if you’re using links. Just add it to the pan if you’re using ground sausage.

Break it apart into small pieces and heat those in a pan over medium heat until they start to get a little crisp around the edges.

Remove it from the heat and set aside.

Spray a pan with avocado oil cooking spray (you can use traditional cooking oil, but we found better results using avocado oil).

Place one of the flour tortillas in the pan.

Put 1/4 of the shredded cheddar cheese on top of the tortilla.

If you shred the cheese yourself, it’ll melt better than if you purchase bagged shredded cheese from the store. It takes a minute to shred it yourself, which you can do while the sausage is cooking, and it’s so worth it.

Add half the cooked sausage.

Make three wells and crack an egg into each well.

Place a flour tortilla on top.

Put the lid on and cook about eight minutes until the eggs are nearly cooked through and the bottom tortilla is crisp.

Remove the lid, spray the top tortilla with the cooking spray, and flip the entire quesadilla.

Put 1/4 of the shredded cheese, half the Roma tomato, and half the green onion on the top of the crispy tortilla.

Put the lid on and cook another five minutes until the eggs are cooked through and the cheese on the top of the breakfast quesadilla is melted.

Remove from the heat and cut into four to six pieces (depending on how you want to serve it).

Continue with the rest of the ingredients to make a second sausage and egg breakfast quesadilla.
