Author Notes
This is a recipe I created while needing a quick breakfast while family in town. I did not want the basic eggs and toast, and living in Texas - why not a dense hearty quesadilla? The crunchiness of the tortilla and melted butter alone satisfies. —cakillgore
Ingredients
-
6
Flour Tortillas (I use Mission Low Carb)
-
6
Eggs, Extra Large
-
4 ounces
Cream Cheese
-
1 cup
Package of Mexican 4-Cheese from Kraft
-
1 cup
Green Onions (Green and White Parts Included) Chopped
-
1 pound
Ground Breakfast Sausage (spicy or mild)
-
Salt and Pepper to Taste
-
2
Sticks Butter for Frying (Onions and Tortillas)
Directions
-
Cook Sausage per instructions and set aside.
-
Cook Onions in butter, then add eggs and scramble. Add Cream Cheese (cut into chunks) into egg mixture, mix well and set aside.
-
Put shredded cheese in a bowl and set aside.
-
Heat 1/4 stick butter into frying pan on medium high. When melted, place one tortilla in pan. Add some shredded cheese, cooked eggs, sausage and more cheese. Top with 2nd tortilla.
-
When bottom tortilla is getting crispy, turn over to fry the other side. Once crispy, put on a heat resistant mat, cut into fourths and sprinkle with either more cheese, salsa, or your favorite topping.
-
Serve and Enjoy. I love the onion taste, and make extra for topping once finished.
