Crispy Breakfast Quesadillas

By CheeseDiva

Ingredients

• 4 Flour Tortillas (soft taco size)
• 3 Eggs
• 1/2 pound Jimmy Dean Sage Breakfast Sausage
• 1 cup shredded Sharp Cheddar Cheese
• 1 1/3 cup shredded Jack Cheese
• 1/2 cup Salsa
• 2 tablespoons Milk
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 1/4 teaspoon ground Black Pepper

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven at 375 degrees F.

Heat a skillet on medium heat and add the sausage. While cooking the sausage break it up in small pieces with a spoon or spatula. When the sausage is done cooking remove it from the pan on to a paper towel and set aside. Shred the cheese and set aside.

In a medium size bowl, add the eggs, pepper, and milk. Whisk together. Heat a skillet on medium heat and add ½ tablespoon of butter. As it’s melting pour in the eggs and stir as they cook. When the eggs are scrambled, remove them from the heat and set aside for just a moment.

Grease a cookie sheet with about ½ tablespoon of butter. Lay two of the tortillas on the cookie sheet. Add a layer of shredded cheese on each tortilla reserving half of the quantity of cheese for later. Next, add a layer of cooked sausage, scrambled eggs, and salsa to the tortillas. Add the remaining shredded cheese. Top each quesadilla with a tortilla.

In a small bowl, melt the remaining butter, and brush it on top of the tortilla. Bake in a preheated oven until the cheese melts and the outside edges of the tortillas turn a light golden color (about 15 to 18 minutes). Cut each quesadilla into quarters with a knife or pizza cutter. Serve hot with your favorite salsa. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator and warm them up in the oven or in a toaster oven.
