Description

Ingredients
- 8 large flour tortillas
- 1 pound breakfast sausage, crumbled
- 8 large eggs, whisked
- 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
- ½ cup bell peppers, diced (any color)
- ¼ cup onions, diced
- ¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
- 1 teaspoon salt, to taste
- ½ teaspoon black pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons butter or oil, for the griddle
- ½ cup salsa or sour cream, for serving (optional)
- Optional: ½ cup cooked diced potatoes or hash browns
Instructions
- Preheat the Blackstone griddle to medium-high (375–400°F). Add the crumbled breakfast sausage and cook until browned and fully cooked. Transfer to a plate.
- On the same griddle, sauté the diced onions and bell peppers until soft and lightly caramelized. Push to one side to keep warm.
- On a clean section, pour in the whisked eggs and scramble, seasoning with salt and pepper. Once set, fold the eggs together with the sautéed vegetables.
- Lay a tortilla flat on the griddle. Sprinkle cheddar and mozzarella over one half, then top with sausage, eggs, and veggies. Fold the tortilla in half.
- Reduce heat to medium (about 350°F). Cook each quesadilla 2–3 minutes per side until golden and crispy and the cheese is melted, adding butter or oil as needed.
- Rest one minute, slice into wedges, and serve hot with salsa, sour cream, or your favorite dipping sauce.
Equipment
- Blackstone Griddle
- Squeeze bottle (for eggs)
- Griddle spatula or bacon press
- Cooking oil or butter
Notes
- Make it heartier: Add cooked diced potatoes or hash browns for a restaurant-style quesadilla.
- Swap the meat: Bacon, ham, or chorizo all work in place of sausage.
- Shred your own cheese for the best melt.
- Meal prep: Freeze flat up to 2 months; reheat from frozen on the griddle or air fryer at 350°F for 6–8 minutes.
