High-Protein Breakfast Quesadilla
A savory, satisfying breakfast that delivers ~30 g+ of protein and tastes delicious!
Instructions:
Heat a non‐stick skillet over medium heat. Brown lean breakfast sausage (or turkey sausage) until cooked through; set aside.
In the same skillet (or a clean one), scramble 2 whole eggs + 2 egg-whites until just set. Season with salt/pepper.
Warm one tortilla (whole‐wheat or choice) in the skillet for ~30 seconds each side.
On half the tortilla, layer: scrambled eggs, cooked sausage pieces, shredded cheese (e.g., cheddar or mozzarella), optionally some sautéed veggies (bell pepper/ onion/mushrooms - your choice).
Fold the tortilla over to make a quesadilla, press gently. Cook ~1–2 minutes each side until golden and cheese melted.
Remove, let rest 30 seconds, then cut into wedges. Serve with salsa, guacamole or Greek yogurt on the side.
Optional: Make multiple and store in fridge; reheat in skillet/air fryer for meal prep.
