    Fast and easy Sausage and Egg Breakfast Quesadillas are for those times when you want something delicious to eat but you don't have a whole lot of time to fuss.

    Today's breakfast quesadillas are super quick and super easy to prepare because they take advantage of pre-cooked sausage crumbles, prepared shredded cheese, and a package of flour tortillas.

    The only thing you'll really have to do is fry up a few eggs, and do the assembly. BAM! You'll be eating in no time!

    The following recipe for Hard Boiled Egg Stuffed Biscuits is another one I know you'll also enjoy!

    **Please Note - The printable recipe card with detailed instructions, complete ingredient measurements, and nutritional information for making Breakfast Quesadillas with Sausage and Egg is available at the end of this post. 

    These breakfast quesadillas are crispy and crunchy on the outside with plenty of melted cheese, a fried egg, and sausage crumbles on the inside.

    The ingredient list:

    • Flour Tortillas
    • Eggs
    • Pre-Cooked Breakfast Sausage, crumbled
    • Shredded Cheddar Cheese
    • Salt and Pepper

    Additional add-in suggestions:

    • Pre-Cooked Bacon
    • Refried Beans
    • Green Onions
    • Green Bell Peppers
    • Red Bell Peppers
    • Pre-Cooked Hash Brown Potatoes
    • Jalapeno Peppers
    • Salsa

    Why this recipe works:

    These fast and easy quesadillas are fantastic for breakfast, snacks, and even as a quick weeknight dinner when there's little time to cook, and you need something delicious, and protein-packed that can be eaten on the run, for when you're off and running.

    Can these breakfast quesadillas be frozen?

    Sure! After you make a bunch, individually wrap each one in parchment paper and a large zip-top bag.

    To reheat, remove the zip-top bag and reheat the quesadilla (still wrapped in parchment) in a microwave oven on medium power for 1-2 minutes. Check for doneness and return to the microwave for additional time if needed.

    The easy instructions:

    • Place 6 - 6" flour tortillas on a prepared baking sheet.
    • Evenly spread shredded cheese over each tortilla.
    • Top the cheesy layer with fried eggs.
    • Top the fried egg with pre-cooked sausage crumbles.
    • Layer more shredded cheese over the crumbles.
    • Top each quesadilla with the final flour tortillas.
    • Fry each tortilla in olive oil until golden, on both sides.
    • Enjoy!

    Fast and easy. Sausage and Fried Egg Breakfast Quesadillas are filled with plenty of cheese, sausage, and of course, a fried egg. They freeze well too so they're great for a make-ahead meal.
