Change up your normal breakfast of scamble eggs and sausage by making breakfast quesadillas. Think of a breakfast burrito, but it has that crunchy tortilla on the outside.
The inside of the quesadilla includes sausage, eggs, and cheese. You can always change up the meat to bacon or ham if you want. Those would also be delicious.
Melted butter is brushed on the tortillas and then cooked until golden brown with the eggs, sausage and cheese sandwiched in between. The cheesy get all melty and delicious.
Then you can serve these breakfast quesadillas up with salsa, quacamole, and/or sour cream on the side. I am partial to guacamole but I didn’t have any on hand at the time I photographed these quesadillas. So I went with salsa, which was still delicious.
