Ingredients
- 1 8-inch flour tortilla
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 cup cheddar cheese, grated
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 3 oz breakfast sausage (optional for added protein)
Directions
- Prepare the Sausage: In a skillet over medium-high heat, cook the sausage until it’s browned and fully cooked through. Once done, set it aside and wipe up any excess grease from the skillet.
- Whisk the Eggs: In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Cook the Eggs: Return the skillet to low heat and pour in the eggs. Let them cook slowly until they are almost set.
- Add Cheese and Tortilla: Sprinkle two tablespoons of grated cheddar cheese over the eggs, then place the flour tortilla on top. Allow the cheese to melt slightly, adhering the tortilla to the eggs.
- Flip It Over: Carefully use a spatula to flip the tortilla so the eggs are now on top.
- Add More Cheese and Sausage: Spread the remaining cheese over the eggs and distribute the cooked sausage on one half of the tortilla.
- Fold and Cook: Fold the tortilla in half over the sausage and cheese. Continue cooking until the quesadilla is golden brown on both sides.
- Serve Hot: Cut the quesadilla into wedges if desired, and serve hot for a filling and delicious breakfast.
