Recipe Yield: 4 servings

INGREDIENTS

4 large flour tortillas
6 large eggs
2 tbsp butter
½ cup cooked breakfast sausage, crumbled (or bacon bits)
½ cup bell pepper, finely diced
¼ cup green onions, thinly sliced
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
½ tsp smoked paprika
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
½ cup sour cream (for serving)
½ cup salsa or pico de gallo (for serving)

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Whisk the eggs:
In a medium bowl, whisk eggs with smoked paprika, salt, and pepper until combined.

2. Cook the eggs:
Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Pour in eggs and scramble gently until just set but still soft. Remove from heat.

3. Prepare filling:
Stir in crumbled sausage, bell peppers, and green onions with the eggs. Mix lightly to combine.

4. Assemble quesadillas:
Lay a tortilla flat. Sprinkle with cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese, add a portion of the egg mixture, then top with more cheese. Place another tortilla on top (or fold if using one tortilla).

5. Cook quesadillas:
Heat a large skillet over medium. Cook quesadillas one at a time for 2–3 minutes per side, until tortillas are golden and cheese is melted.

6. Slice and serve:
Transfer to a cutting board, slice into wedges, and serve warm with sour cream and salsa.

Helpful Tips to Perfect This Recipe

Balance the Cheese: Using two types of cheese creates a creamier melt and a richer flavor. Cheddar and Monterey Jack are ideal.
Crisp Tortilla Finish: To achieve a golden crunch, press quesadillas lightly with a spatula as they cook. This ensures even browning and helps the cheese bind the filling.
Customizable Add-Ins: Swap in mushrooms, spinach, or leftover roasted vegetables for extra nutrition and flavor.
