Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Finely dice the onion and set aside.
- Grate the Parmesan cheese if not pre-grated.
- 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.
- In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, salt, and black pepper until fully combined.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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!
