Servings: 2 servings
Course: Breakfast, brunch, Main Course
Cuisine: Mexican

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)

Method
 

  1. 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)
