EASY SAUSAGE EGG & CHEESE BREAKFAST QUESADILLA



Easy Sausage Egg & Cheese Breakfast Quesadilla image

This is a fairly easy and tasty recipe. To save time I cook the breakfast sausage in advance and freeze 1/2 cup portions in small baggies and just take one out the night before making. Feel free to add or omit anything you like but keep in mind the more items inside the heavier it is and not as easy to flip in the frying pan. I like it just the way it is but you might like to serve with hot sauce or salsa. Cook & prep times are approximate. Hope you enjoy!

Categories     Breakfast

Time 25m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 large burrito-size flour tortillas

4 eggs, scrambled & cooked
salt (to taste)
fresh ground black pepper (to taste)
1/2 cup breakfast sausage, cooked, crumbled & drained
2 teaspoons oil (for frying)

Steps:

  • Brown the sausage, drain & set aside.
  • Scramble & cook the eggs, set aside.
  • Grate the cheese while heating the oil in a large non-stick pan.
  • Place one tortilla in the pan with 1/2 the cheese spread out evenly.
  • Add the scrambled eggs spreading out evenly and then the sausage.
  • Season with salt & pepper to taste.
  • Add remaining cheese spreading out evenly (the cheese is the glue that holds this together) and top with the other tortilla.
  • Cover with lid and cook for about 5 minutes or until browned then flip and brown the other side.
  • Remove to a plate and cut into 6 pieces and eat with fingers!

BREAKFAST QUESADILLA WITH MAPLE SAUSAGE AND CHARRED POBLANOS



Breakfast Quesadilla with Maple Sausage and Charred Poblanos image

Burritos seem to have bullied quesadillas out of the running for Mexican-inspired breakfast foods. Well, not anymore, I say! Fold your favorite ingredients inside a flour tortilla for a scrambled spin on breakfast. Inside my quesadilla you'll find smoky, charred poblanos and creamy Monterey Jack cheese. For a double dose of heat, go for spicy sausage and jalapeños. For milder palates, opt for the sweet links instead.

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 50m

Yield 2 quesadillas

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 poblano peppers (about 3 ounces each)
2 tablespoons olive oil
Kosher salt and coarse black pepper
4 fully cooked maple breakfast sausage links (about 1 ounce each)
6 large eggs
1 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 burrito-size flour tortillas
1 cup packed baby spinach (see Cook's Note)
1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
2 tablespoons neutral oil (such as vegetable, grapeseed or sunflower)
1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt or sour cream
Chopped cilantro or flat-leaf parsley, for garnish, optional
Hot sauce, for serving, optional

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
  • On a baking sheet, drizzle the poblano peppers with 1 tablespoon olive oil and season them with salt and pepper. Roast for 15 minutes, flipping them once halfway through so they are charred side up for the last half. When the peppers are cool enough to handle, slice off their tops, split them down the middle, scrape out the seeds, and roughly chop the flesh.
  • Reduce the oven temperature to 250 degrees F.
  • In a small skillet, heat the sausages in the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium heat until fully warmed through and lightly browned on all sides, 5 to 8 minutes. Roughly chop the sausages.
  • In a bowl, season the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper and whisk until they are light and airy.
  • In a large nonstick skillet, heat the butter over medium-high heat. When the butter begins to foam and sizzle, pour in the eggs. As the outside begins to cook, lift up the eggs with a heatproof spatula so that the runny center flows to the side of the pan. When the bottom is cooked-about 30 seconds-carefully flip the eggs so that they're now top-side down. If you're not comfortable flipping the eggs, scramble them with a spatula until they're soft and fluffy, 15 to 20 seconds after the bottom is cooked. Immediately remove the eggs from the heat and split them down the middle so you have two half-moons.
  • On one half of each tortilla, layer the poblanos, eggs, sausage, spinach, and Monterey Jack cheese, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Fold the tortillas over to make a quesadilla shape.
  • In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of the neutral oil over medium heat. Add one quesadilla and cook until golden brown and crispy, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Place it on a baking sheet to keep warm in the oven. Prepare the second quesadilla with the remaining ingredients.
  • When both quesadillas have been cooked, slice them into triangle and serve with the Greek yogurt or sour cream. Drizzle with hot sauce and sprinkle with cilantro or parsley if desired.

1 Tbsp fresh rosemary, minced
2 medium tomatoes, chopped
3 medium flour tortillas

CHEESY BREAKFAST QUESADILLA WITH FRESH SALSA



Cheesy Breakfast Quesadilla with Fresh Salsa image

Categories     Breakfast

Yield makes 1 serving

Number Of Ingredients 5

Olive oil spray
4 large egg whites
1 (about 8-inch-diameter) reduced-fat, whole-wheat flour tortilla
1 ounce (1/3 cup) finely shredded light Swiss cheese
1/4 cup drained fresh salsa (refrigerated, not jarred, if possible)

Steps:

  • Microwave Instructions
  • Lightly mist a small microwave-safe bowl with spray. Add the egg whites and microwave for 30 seconds on low. Continue microwaving them in 30-second intervals until they are just barely runny on top. Then using a fork, stir them to break into large "scrambled" pieces. By the time you "scramble" and stir them, the residual heat should have cooked away the runniness. If they are still undercooked, cook them in 10-second intervals until just done.
  • Place a nonstick frying pan large enough for the tortilla to lie flat over medium-high heat. Add the tortilla (no need to add any fat). Sprinkle half the cheese over half of the tortilla. Spoon the egg evenly over that, followed by the remaining cheese. Fold the bare half over the filled half. Cook until the cheese begins to melt and the tortilla is lightly browned in spots, about 2 minutes. Carefully flip it and cook until the cheese is completely melted, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer the quesadilla to a serving plate and top with salsa. Cut into 4 wedges and serve immediately.
  • Stovetop Instructions
  • Follow the directions above, but instead of microwaving the egg whites, simply scramble them in a nonstick skillet lightly misted with spray over medium heat.

SALVADORAN QUESADILLA (SWEET BREAKFAST CAKE, GLUTEN FREE)



Salvadoran Quesadilla (Sweet Breakfast Cake, Gluten Free) image

Posted for ZWT7 Central & South America. "Don't expect cheese and tortillas. Instead, think poundcake. Think happy mornings, popping a few too many quesadillas in your mouth. In El Salvador they eat rich, buttery quesadillas in the morning with a big cup of coffee and I suggest you do the same. You'll love the slight crunch of the sesame seeds in combination with the sweet/salty cake." From, globaltableadventure.com.

BREAKFAST QUESADILLA



Breakfast Quesadilla image

Provided by Food Network

Yield 4-8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

Fruit Salsa:
2 Nectarines diced
2 Mangos peeled and diced
1 Cup diced pineapple
2 Tomatoes (medium to large) seeded and diced
1 Red Onion diced
2-6 Jalapeno peppers seeded and diced
2 Tbs. chopped cilantro
2-4 Tbs. Fresh squeezed lime juice
Combine all in a medium mixing bowl
Salt and Pepper to taste
(Recipe can be cut in half)
Quesadilla:
Torta/Tostada
8 oz. pkg of queso fresco
4-12 strips of bacon
4-8 eggs
1 pkg flour or corn tortillas
1 15 oz can of pinto or black beans (may substitute can of refried beans)
1 large avocado sliced lengthwise

Steps:

  • Cook bacon in frying pan on medium-high until lightly crisp, remove and chop. Open can of beans drain half of the liquid then put into pan. Add about 2 Tbs. of the rendered bacon fat to the beans and cook on medium low, begin mashing the beans with a potato masher or other utensil like a slotted spoon. Once mashed to desired consistency mix in chopped bacon then salt and pepper to taste and remove from heat. (Make sure not to over salt due to the already saltiness of the bacon)
  • Warm 4-8 tortillas by placing them in between two salad size plates face to face (this creates a tortilla warmer effect and will keep them warm without drying them out) and microwave for about 30seconds.
  • Meanwhile begin frying eggs in the remaining rendered bacon fat until done sunny side up or to your desired style. (I like my yolk done easy)
  • Spread refried beans onto individual tortillas then top with slices of queso fresco then plate, return to microwave for 15-20 seconds on high or place flat in a wide pan on medium heat until warm. Once warm place one egg on top of each tortilla with bean and cheese, then top with about 3-4 Tbs. fruit salsa, top that with 3-4 slices of avocado and sprinkle a pinch of chopped cilantro.
  • Enjoy!
