Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Flour tortillas
- 4 pieces Large eggs
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup Cooked breakfast sausage (crumbled)
- 0.5 cup Red bell pepper (diced)
- 0.25 cup Green onions (sliced)
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Salsa (for serving)
- 0.5 cup Sour cream (for serving)
Instructions
In a medium-sized bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them with the salt and black pepper.
Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a skillet over medium heat. Once melted, add the diced red bell pepper and sauté for 2-3 minutes until slightly softened.
Pour the whisked eggs into the skillet, cook, and gently stir to scramble until just set. Remove from the heat and set aside.
Wipe the skillet clean, then place it back over medium heat. Melt 1/2 tablespoon of butter and place one tortilla in the skillet.
Sprinkle 1/4 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over half of the tortilla, followed by a quarter of the scrambled eggs, 1/4 cup of crumbled sausage, and a sprinkle of sliced green onions.
Fold the other half of the tortilla over the filling using a spatula, and press down gently.
Cook for 2-3 minutes on one side until golden brown, then carefully flip and cook the other side for an additional 2-3 minutes until the tortilla is crispy and the cheese is melted.
Remove the quesadilla from the skillet and repeat the process with the remaining tortillas and ingredients.
Slice each quesadilla into thirds or quarters and serve warm with salsa and sour cream on the side.
