Make-Ahead Breakfast Quesadillas
Prep Time:15 minutes
Cook Time:20 minutes

Ingredients

  • 8 large flour tortillas 8-inch
  • 8 large eggs
  • ½ cup milk
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese or Mexican blend
  • 1 cup cooked breakfast sausage crumbled
  • ½ cup diced bell peppers any color
  • ¼ cup diced onion
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tbsp butter or oil for cooking eggs
  • Cooking spray for the pan

Instructions

  • Cook the filling. In a skillet over medium heat, sauté the diced onion and bell peppers in a little oil for 3–4 minutes until softened. Add the crumbled sausage and stir to combine. Set aside.
  • Scramble the eggs. Whisk together eggs, milk, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Melt butter in the same skillet over medium-low heat. Add the egg mixture and scramble gently, pulling the curds slowly. Remove from heat while still slightly underdone — they'll finish cooking when you reheat the quesadillas.
  • Assemble. Lay a tortilla flat. On one half, layer a scoop of egg mixture, a spoonful of the sausage and veggie mix, and a generous handful of cheese. Fold the tortilla over.
  • Toast. Lightly spray a clean skillet or griddle over medium heat. Cook each quesadilla for 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown and the cheese is melted. Don't press too hard — you want some fluffiness in there.
  • Cool completely before storing. This prevents sogginess.
