Breakfast Quesadillas!!

This breakfast is delicious and only takes less than 10 minutes to prepare. It can be modified to make a regular quesadilla for lunch or dinner as well, just use your imagination.

You will need:


1-Flat bread/Tortilla- I used Joseph's Bakery Lavash
1/4 cup Jimmy Deans Turkey Sausage Crumbles (fully cooked)
1/2 Cup Egg whites-I used liquid egg whites to save time but use regular eggs if you prefer
1/4 cup of Fat Free shredded Cheese


1. The first thing you should do is cook your eggs separately.  I cook 1/2 cup of liquid egg whites in a small bowl in the microwave for 1:30.  You can also cook them in a pan on the stove, but I do suggest cooking them first or your quesadilla will be a big, runny mess.

2. Place your tortilla on a flat surface or in a pan on the stove (stove off) and fill it before you begin cooking it.  This way you are not filling the shell while it browns and melts the cheese and it will be done before you are ready to cook it.
I put the 1/4 cup of fat free, shredded cheese, 1/4 cup of pre cooked turkey sausage and the eggs in the shell.  Fold the shell in half and place in the pan and turn the heat on low.


3. Cook each side until it is brown and the cheese is starting to melt.  Even on low heat it will cook very quickly, just a few minutes each side.  Turn it with a large spatula and be careful not to spill the ingredients out into the pan!


4. Remove from heat, let cool for 5 mins, cut into strips and enjoy!
