31 days of Wholefood breakfast: Quesadillas!

You know what happens when there's a LOT of food left over?  I am tempted to not cook breakfast.  I did that yesterday, though, and how many leftovers can rapidly growing boys eat before staging a major revolt?  I decided not to press my luck, and whipped up these breakfast quesadillas.  They met most of my wholefood breakfast criteria: simple, quick, tasty and not loaded with sugar.

::Breakfast quesadillas::

   makes 6

**I believe you could find everything except the tortillas for this recipe from a local farm - look here**

1/3 lb. breakfast sausage

7  fresh eggs mixed with a bit of milk

shredded cheese

12 tortillas - I used corn of course.

Directions: Brown breakfast sausage in skillet.  Cook until no pink remains.  Add egg/milk mixture directly to sausage in the skillet and cook just scrambled eggs. Heat up a griddle or other large pan while eggs are cooking.
 

To assemble: make quesadilla by spooning about 1/3 cup of cooked scrambled egg/sausage mixture onto a tortilla, top with shredded cheese and another tortilla shell. Cook until the cheese is melted and it's crispy on both sides.  This whole process takes about 5 minutes.  If you prefer a soft taco, just add cheese directly to the eggs and spoon that mixture into warmed up tortilla shells.  However you serve it, this recipe travels very well which makes it great for wrapping and distributing before the morning commute. 

The baintrain ate it with their favorite hot sauce. I'm sure you could serve it with salsa, a bit of guacamole or queso...but again, I threw this together at the last minute, so no time to dress it up. 

I thought after all the leftovers they consumed yesterday they'd be a bit hungrier.  However, I now have one of these sitting in my fridge. 
Left overs: you can't live with them, you can't live without them...

Enjoy!
