The 4-Ingredient Sheet Pan Breakfast Your Family Will Ask For Every Day

They say that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, and indeed, a healthy, tasty meal in the morning can sometimes make the difference between a good day and a lousy one. Cooking breakfast to feed an entire family, though, can be a challenge, so ways to make it easier are almost always welcome. If you're looking for an easy, delicious breakfast, look no further than four-ingredient sheet pan quesadillas.

Making your sheet pan quesadillas is incredibly easy. Simply put tortillas down on a greased cooking pan, sprinkle with cheese and crumbled sausage, pour in beaten eggs, cover with more tortillas, and bake in the oven until the eggs fully cook. Once they're done, you have a tray of tasty breakfast quesadillas that can rival those coming out of your favorite Mexican restaurant. The familiar flavors of the cheese, sausage, and eggs combined with the toasty warm tortillas create a fantastic dish that will start your day off right.

If you've ever made a casserole before, this recipe should be a piece of cake, since it's pretty much the same principle wherein all the ingredients are mixed together on a carb base and baked. And indeed, there are casserole recipes that make for a great easy breakfast, some of which use hash browns as a base instead of tortillas, meaning this can be tweaked in similar fashion.

Making your quesadillas into a casserole isn't the only modification you can make. Since it's so simple, this recipe is very easy to customize to your family's tastes and dietary needs. For example, if someone in your family is dealing with celiac disease or a gluten intolerance, you can use gluten-free corn tortillas instead of flour. Just remember that, whenever you substitute ingredients while cooking, you need to accommodate for it. In this case, corn tortillas tend to be smaller than flour ones and relatively inflexible, so you may need to use a few extra and be more careful when separating them.

This recipe is also a good way to add veggies to your kids' diet if they're not too fond of greens. Mushrooms, spinach, and even vegetables like carrots can all go great in your breakfast quesadillas, and if you dice them small, it's likely the little ones won't even notice.

For extra-picky households, you can even customize the recipe into halves. Say that one person wants something like a chicken and green chile quesadilla and another wants the standard eggs and cheese version. Just put the fillings on different halves of the pans, and you can easily make a breakfast to suit everyone's tastes. Some runny ingredients can bleed over, like eggs, but you can easily keep the tortillas separated with some aluminum foil.
