Easy Gluten Free Breakfast Quesadilla

Course Breakfast
Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 15 minutes
Total Time 30 minutes
Servings 2

Ingredients

  • 4 crimini mushrooms
  • ½ bell pepper
  • ¼ pound breakfast sausage (loose, not a link)
  • pinch kosher salt
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 tsp avocado oil
  • 1 cup shredded cheese
  • 4 gluten free tortillas (I use Siete Almond Flour)
  • ½ avocado (sliced)
  • salsa (optional)

Instructions

Items Needed:

  • Paper towels
  • A cutting board
  • A sharp knife
  • A medium pan
  • A flat cooking spatula
  • A plate
  • A medium bowl
  • A whisk

Directions:

  • - Prep the vegetables by washing the bell pepper and wiping the mushrooms with a damp paper towel.
  • - Using a cutting board and a sharp knife, cut the mushrooms in half from top to bottom then thinly slice them. Set aside.
  • - With the same cutting board and knife, dice the bell pepper into small-to-medium sized pieces. Set aside.
  • - In a medium pan over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage with a flat cooking spatula and break it up into small pieces.
  • - Once the sausage is no longer pink, place a paper towel on a plate and spoon the sausage onto the towel. Leave the grease in the pan to cook the vegetables.
  • - Place the mushrooms and bell pepper into the pan with a pinch of kosher salt. Cook until both are soft, 5 to 7 minutes.
  • - While the vegetables are cooking, crack 4 eggs into a medium bowl and stir with a whisk until combined. Set aside until vegetables are finished cooking.
  • - Once vegetables are done, remove them from the pan and set aside.
  • - Pour the avocado oil into the pan to warm up, then pour in the eggs. Cook them in the pan until just before they’re fully cooked, about 2 minutes. They should still be slightly runny.
  • - Place the cooked sausage and vegetables in the pan with the eggs. Put half a cup of cheese in as well and stir to combine until the eggs are cooked, the cheese is melted, and the meat and vegetables are warm. This will only take a minute or two.
  • - Put a separate small to medium pan over low to medium heat. Place one of the tortillas in the pan, then put half of the egg mixture in a flat, even layer, onto the tortilla. Spread half of the sliced avocado onto the mixture in a single layer. Sprinkle ¼ cup of cheese on top of the egg mixture, then place another tortilla on top of the cheese to form the quesadilla.
  • - Cook the tortilla for 2 to 3 minutes, until it starts to brown a bit on the bottom. Using the flat spatula, carefully flip the quesadilla over and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes until the second side is slightly browned.
  • - Remove from pan and transfer to plate, topping with salsa. Enjoy!
