Steps

  1. Crack two large eggs into a small mixing bowl.
  2. Season the eggs lightly with just a pinch of salt and a pinch of black pepper, then beat them together thoroughly with a fork.
  3. Set the eggs aside.
  4. Place a large, non-stick pan over medium heat.
  5. Add about three ounces of breakfast sausage (or two patties) to the skillet. If using sausages, break them up with your spatula as you sauté because they release some oil.
  6. Continue sauteing and stirring frequently until the sausage is lightly browned and completely cooked through.
  7. Transfer the sausage to a plate.
  8. Reduce the heat to medium-low in the same skillet.
  9. Add your beaten eggs to the pan.
  10. Swirl the eggs to evenly coat the bottom of the pan, and let them cook gently.
  11. Once they're nearly cooked through, sprinkle the top with about two tablespoons of shredded cheese.
  12. Place a tortilla directly over the surface of the egg and let that rest for about 30 seconds.
  13. Use a large, thin spatula to get under the egg and flip it over. If having trouble flipping, let it stay on the heat for another 30 seconds before trying again.
  14. Once flipped over, add another two tablespoons of cheese or add more cheese to taste.
  15. Spread the cooked sausage evenly over half of the quesadilla.
  16. Fold the tortilla over to close it like a book, and continue to saute on both sides until it's golden brown.
  17. Remove from the skillet once the cheese inside is melted and your tortilla is crisp and gold brown.
