Description
Quick and easy breakfast-on-the-go sausage quesadilla recipe.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1–2 tsp bacon grease
- 1/4 cup cooked sausage crumbles
- 3 eggs, beaten
- 1 cup Mexican blend shredded cheese, divided into two 1/2 cup portions
- 2 large flour tortillas
Instructions
- Place the bacon grease in a frying pan over low heat. Add the cooked sausage crumbles and stir for 2 to 4 minutes.
- Beat the eggs in a bowl and pour them into the pan with the sausage. Stir gently for 2 to 3 minutes until the eggs are cooked through.
- Sprinkle half a cup of shredded cheese over the sausage and egg mixture.
- Place one tortilla directly on top. Press gently so the cheese helps it attach.
- After about one minute, flip the whole thing over.
- Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top of the filling. Place the second tortilla over it and press down lightly.
- Turn the heat up to medium high and cook for 1 to 2 minutes until lightly golden. Flip again.
- Cook the final side for another 1 to 2 minutes. Slice into quarters with a pizza cutter. Serve warm with hot sauce or spicy salsa. Wrap in foil if eating on the go.
