Sheet Pan Breakfast Quesadilla

Ingredients

  • 2 Baking Sheet Pans
  • 8 to 10 Large Burrito Tortillas
  • 10 Frozen Hash Brown Patties
  • 1 lb Jimi Dean Hot Breakfast Sausage
  • 2 Cups Shredded Cheddar or Monterey Jack Cheese
  • Salsa, Taco Sauce, Ketchup, etc.

Directions

  1. Pre-heat the oven to 425 degrees (F) to cook the hash brown patties.
  2. Spray aluminum foil with cooking spray and lay out the hash browns to bake in the oven. Season the hash browns with salt and spray with cooking spray.
  3. Cook the hash browns for about 15 to 17 minutes.
  4. While the hash browns cook on the first side, mix the eggs well in preparation to scramble, then cook and brown 1 lb of Jimi Dean hot breakfast sausage. Break the sausage into small pieces. Drain the grease and set the cooked sausage aside.
  5. After about 15 to 17 minutes, flip the hash browns, then salt and spray the tops of the hash browns with cooking spray.
  6. Place the hash browns back into the oven and cook for another 15 to 17 minutes.
  7. While the hash browns finish cooking, in a sauté pan add the olive oil or butter and heat the pan over medium-low heat.
  8. Add the eggs to the sauté pan and cook your eggs, mixing while cooking to scramble the eggs to the doneness of your liking.
  9. Remove the eggs from the heat and set them aside.
  10. Lower the heat of the oven down to 375 degrees (F)
  11. Time to build the quesadilla!
  12. Lay the burrito tortillas around the sheet pan, ensure that the bottom of the pan is covered by the tortillas and part of the tortillas are hanging over the edge.
  13. Add the cooked hash browns on the bottom layer, then spread out the sausage, half of the cheese, the eggs, and remaining cheese.
  14. Lay the two burrito tortillas on top to ensure max coverage when you fold the overhanging tortillas on top.
  15. Place another sheet pan or casserole dish on top and press down slightly.
  16. Bake, with the additional sheet pan or casserole dish on top, for 15 minutes.
  17. Remove the top sheet pan or casserole dish, and bake for another 7 to 8 minutes. Keep an eye on the tortillas to ensure they do not burn.
  18. Take the quesadilla out of the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing. You can use a pizza wheel to make it easier.
  19. Serve with your preferred condiments. Whether it is taco sauce, salsa, sour cream, ketchup ep, etc.
