Sausage quesadillas with parmesan cheese

Start your day off right with these delicious sausage quesadillas with parmesan cheese. This simple recipe combines savory Italian sausage, fluffy eggs, and the rich taste of parmesan into a convenient, handheld breakfast that's both satisfying and easy to make.

Ingredients:

1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
20g
2 eggs
100g
1 dash salt
0.40g
4 oz italian sausage
110g
1 dash black pepper
1/10g
1 tbsp onion
6g
1 tortilla
110g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Ingredients:
- Finely dice the onion and set aside.
- Grate the Parmesan cheese if not pre-grated.
2. Cook the Sausage:
- In a medium skillet over medium heat, crumble the Italian sausage.
- Cook until browned, stirring occasionally, about 5-7 minutes.
- Once cooked, remove the sausage from the skillet and drain the excess fat on a paper towel.
3. Prepare the Egg Mixture:
- In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, salt, and black pepper until fully combined.
4. Cook the Eggs:
- In the same skillet used for cooking the sausage, add the finely diced onion and cook for about 1-2 minutes until softened.
- Pour the egg mixture into the skillet.
- Stir gently and cook until the eggs are scrambled but still soft, about 2-3 minutes.
- Remove the skillet from the heat and mix in the cooked sausage.
5. Assemble the Quesadilla:
- Lay the tortilla flat on a clean surface.
- Sprinkle half of the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over one half of the tortilla.
- Spread the sausage and egg mixture evenly over the cheese.
- Sprinkle the remaining Parmesan cheese over the sausage and eggs.
- Fold the tortilla in half to enclose the filling.
6. Cook the Quesadilla:
- Heat a clean, dry skillet over medium heat.
- Place the folded quesadilla in the skillet.
- Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the tortilla is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
- Press down gently with a spatula to ensure even cooking and to help the cheese melt.
7. Serve:
- Remove the quesadilla from the skillet and let it cool for a minute.
- Cut the quesadilla into wedges or halves for easy grab-and-go eating.
- Enjoy your delicious breakfast sausage quesadilla with Parmesan cheese!

Tips:

- Feel free to add some chopped veggies like bell peppers or spinach to the egg mixture for added nutrition and flavor.

- If you're short on time in the morning, cook the sausage and egg mixture the night before and simply assemble and heat the quesadilla in the morning.

- Warming the tortilla in a separate pan before assembling can make it more pliable and less likely to tear.

- Experiment with different cheeses if you like; cheddar or mozzarella can make great alternatives to parmesan.

- Don't overcrowd the quesadilla with filling, as it can make it difficult to fold and eat on-the-go.

There you have it, a quick and delightful breakfast option that you can easily take with you on busy mornings. These sausage quesadillas with parmesan cheese are sure to become a regular part of your breakfast rotation. Enjoy!
