Categories     Breakfast     Lunch

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 6

8 oz. country sausage ($1.45)
6 large eggs ($1.40)
1/4 tsp salt ($0.02)
1/4 tsp pepper ($0.02)
6 oz. cheddar ($1.27)
6 medium flour tortillas ($0.86)

Steps:

  • Add the sausage to a skillet and cook over medium heat until the sausage is browned and crispy on the edges. When the sausage is cooked, remove it from the skillet using a slotted spoon so they grease stays behind in the skillet.
  • While the sausage is cooking, crack six eggs into a bowl and season with salt and pepper (about ¼ tsp each). Whisk the eggs. Shred the cheddar cheese.
  • Add the whisked eggs to the skillet with the sausage grease, and continue to cook them over medium heat, gently folding them as the eggs set. Cook until the eggs are set, but still moist. Remove the skillet from the heat.
  • With the skillet off the heat, add the cooked sausage and shredded cheddar to the skillet with the scrambled eggs. Fold the ingredients together until they are evenly combined.
  • Place about ½ cup of the sausage, egg, and cheese mixture into each tortilla, spreading it out to cover half of the tortilla. Fold the tortilla closed. You can either toast or freeze the quesadillas at this point (see freezing instructions above the recipe).
  • To cook the quesadillas, add them back to the skillet (I like to do this in a dry skillet) and cook over medium heat on each side until the tortilla is brown and crispy and the cheese on the inside is melted. Slice the quesadilla into three pieces, then serve.

Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 flour tortilla (8" in diameter)
2 large eggs
1 Pinch salt and pepper
1/4 cup shredded cheese ((1 oz) Mexican cheese, medium cheddar or mozzarella)
3 oz breakfast Sausage (2 patties)
2 slices ham ((2 oz) chopped)
2 slices bacon ((2 oz), sliced)

Steps:

  • Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Cook Sausage or Bacon until browned and cooked through then remove to a plate. If using cooked ham, you can heat it up or just add it over the cheese in step 4. Wipe excess oil from skillet if needed. Reduce heat to low.
  • In a measuring cup, add 2 eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper, or add seasoning to taste. Beat with a fork. Add beaten eggs and swirl to spread evenly over the bottom of the pan. Cook over low heat until When eggs are nearly cooked through (if you tilt the pan they shouldn't run).
  • Sprinkle the top with 2 Tbsp shredded cheese then cover with a tortilla. The cheese will make the tortilla stick to the egg. Use a large spatula to get under the egg and quickly flip over.
  • Sprinkle another 2 Tbsp of cheese or add cheese to taste. Sprinkle your cooked protein (sausage, bacon or ham) over half of the surface and fold the tortilla in half. Sautee on both sides until golden brown.* Remove from skillet and use a pizza cutter to cut quesadilla into wedges and serve warm.

Categories     main-dish

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
8 ounces sweet Italian sausage, casings removed
2 bell peppers (any color), sliced
1 small onion, sliced
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 teaspoon dried oregano
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 1/3 cups marinara sauce
4 large flour tortillas (burrito-size)
1 8-ounce bag shredded mozzarella cheese (about 2 cups)
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sausage and cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon and stirring occasionally, until browned and mostly cooked through, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the bell peppers, onion, garlic, oregano, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender, about 15 minutes. Add 1/3 cup each marinara sauce and water and cook, stirring, until the vegetables are lightly coated and the skillet is mostly dry, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a medium bowl and carefully wipe out the skillet.
  • Lay the tortillas on a work surface. Top one side of each tortilla with 1/4 cup mozzarella, 1/2 tablespoon Parmesan, one-quarter of the sausage-and-peppers mixture and another 1/4 cup mozzarella and 1/2 tablespoon Parmesan. Fold the tortillas over the filling and gently press.
  • Brush the tortillas with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil. Working in two batches, cook the quesadillas in the reserved skillet over medium heat until browned, about 2 minutes per side.
  • Warm the remaining 1 cup marinara sauce in a small saucepan or the microwave. Cut the quesadillas into wedges. Serve with the sauce for dipping.
