The Best 10 Minute Breakfast – Fried Egg Quesadilla
This breakfast “Fried Egg Quesadilla” is delicious and it really did only take about 10 minutes to make. All I did was brown some breakfast sausage and set it aside. I then added a little butter to an iron skillet and a corn tortilla. I let it brown a little, flipped and added cheese, sausage and salsa, another corn tortilla and flipped again, cooking to a beautifully crisp corn tortilla!!

I was hesitant to make this with corn tortillas because traditionally a quesadilla is with a flour tortilla, but the corn is perfect for this breakfast quesadilla. Just a little butter creates a crispy and crunchy corn tortilla that just melts into all the other ingredients as you eat it!! It’s like eating a crunchy taco with the cheese melted with an egg on it! Oh, yum!
I like to use white corn tortillas and I’m kind of picky about the brand I get. Mission has a good white corn tortilla and Guerrero is a good brand. These are Guerrero and here’s a link for them. http://www.pasionguerrero.com/en.

The Best 10 Minute Breakfast – Fried Egg Quesadilla
Ingredients
- 4 corn tortillas
- 2 tbsp butter
- 2 slices of breakfast sausage for two portions, crumbled and browned, or a couple of strips of bacon cooked
- cheddar cheese
- Salsa of your choice
- 2-4 eggs for frying
- cilantro (optional)
Instructions
- Melt some butter in a pan and gently cook a corn tortilla in it. Flip and top the tortilla with grated cheddar cheese, the crumbled sausage or bacon and some salsa of you choice. Add a little cilantro if you like. Add a little more cheese and top with another corn tortilla. Cook, flipping the quesadilla a few times, until it is crisp and golden and the cheese has melted into lace at the sides. Place on a cutting board to rest. Fry an egg in the empty pan with a little more butter, then cut the quesadilla into quarters, placing the egg on top. Top with cilantro and hot sauce or salsa. I sprinkle with New Mexico red chile powder (mild to medium)
