Breakfast Quesadillas

Breakfast quesadillas are such a easy simple way to begin your day. I don’t know about any of you but breakfast is my most favorite meal of the day.  Now though there are many times when I skip out on breakfasts, actually I wouldn’t say skip out I usually have breakfast much later on in the day, I am always looking for new ways to jazz up our breakfast selections.

The real beauty to this recipes is that it calls for no time at all.  Scrambling of the eggs takes about 5 minutes.  Sauteing chopped sausage and green pepper takes about 3 minutes and combining all of those into a grilled quesadilla takes about another 5 minutes.  So it takes 15 minutes or less to make a delicious filling breakfast!

To me that sounds pretty doable and definitely well worth 15 minutes of my time… even if I do feel like I am scrambling in the mornings, it’s so worth it!
