Savory Breakfast Quesadillas

Dice the red bell pepper into small pieces and thinly slice the green onions, separating the white and green parts.

Remove the breakfast sausage from its casing (if applicable) and break into small pieces.

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the breakfast sausage and cook for 5-7 minutes until browned and fully cooked, breaking it up with a spatula as it cooks.

Add the diced red bell pepper and white parts of green onions to the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes until vegetables begin to soften.

While the sausage mixture cooks, whisk together 8 eggs, 1/4 cup milk, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper in a medium bowl until well combined.

Transfer the cooked sausage mixture to a plate and wipe the skillet clean.

Return the skillet to medium-low heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter. Pour in the egg mixture and cook for 3-5 minutes, gently stirring occasionally, until eggs are softly scrambled but not dry.

Mix the cooked sausage mixture back into the scrambled eggs along with half of the green parts of the green onions. Remove from heat.

Wipe the skillet clean again and heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium heat.

Place one tortilla in the skillet and sprinkle about 1/4 cup of the mixed cheeses evenly over half of the tortilla.

Spoon approximately 1/4 of the egg and sausage mixture over the cheese, then sprinkle another 2 tablespoons of cheese on top of the mixture.

Fold the empty half of the tortilla over the filled half to create a half-moon shape. Press down gently with a spatula.

Cook for 2-3 minutes until the bottom is golden brown, then carefully flip and cook for another 2 minutes until the other side is golden and the cheese is melted.

Transfer to a cutting board and repeat the process with the remaining tortillas and filling, adding more oil to the pan as needed.

Slice each quesadilla into 2-3 wedges and serve immediately with salsa, sour cream, sliced avocado, and the remaining green onions and optional cilantro as garnish.
