12 6 inch Flour Tortillas
6 Fried Eggs seasoned with salt and pepper
6 ounces Pre-Cooked Breakfast Sausage crumbled
8 ounces Shredded Pepper-Jack Cheese
8 ounces Shredded Sharp Cheddar Cheese
3 tablespoons Olive Oil for pan-frying

Instructions

Place 6 tortillas on a baking sheet.

For each quesadilla, heat approximately 2-3
teaspoons of oil a large skillet over medium/high heat.
One at a time, place each tortilla in the skillet and cook for about 30-45 seconds until the tortilla is nicely golden and the cheese has started to melt.
