...If you leave hungry from this, its your own fault :P

Another great dish from !

******************************

Vrghr's shop celebrated the birthday of a couple folks again this month, and wuffy did "that breakfast thing" for all the workers again.

This month's offering: Breakfast Quesadillas, with all sorts of assorted sides and accompaniments.

These are very tasty, and quite filling too! Vrghr used the "fold over" technique to create half-moon Quesadillas, and they were still more than enough for most folks. Frying these in butter really set them into the "breakfast" mode with nuances of buttery croissant in the toasty, crisp tortilla.

Along with the Quesadillas themselves, Wuff will include the "how to" for a couple of the sides: the black beans, guacamole, and refried beans. Of course, you could just pop those out of a can or container and enjoy them, but you know this wuff has to "kick them up" a little for his friends.

Vrghr had two big electric skillets running for these, since wuff was doing these "make to order" and wanted to crank them out more rapidly for the hungry crowd. You can make these on a griddle or 'flat top', a cast iron pan, or many other options. And though wuff used large 10 inch tortillas, you could also make some very tasty "mini quesos" with 6 or 8 " tortillas. Have fun with these and don't be afraid to experiment with them.

Mash and stir it all together. Then stir in the diced tomato.
Taste, and adjust seasonings as desired.

For the Quesadillas
Brown the sausage, mashing and stirring it until it is reduced to small bits and no big chunks remain. Continue to cook until no pink remains. Remove to a holding bowl

Sear the diced ham until heated through and slightly toasted at the edges. Remove to a holding bowl.

Fry the bacon strips until crispy (or use pre-cooked bacon and heat until warm). Remove to paper towel lined plate.

In a large bowl, crack the eggs and add salt, pepper, and the cream/half n half. Whisk until completely combined. Pour into the skillet that fried the bacon, sausage, etc., and continue to stir and turn until all the eggs are set, but still tender. Return to the large bowl to hold.

Wipe out the excess eggs from the skillet.
Heat the skillet to about 350 degrees, and melt a pat of butter into the skillet. When hot and starting to brown, lay a tortilla into the skillet.
Spread a generous portion of shredded over the whole tortilla.
The rest of the toppings all go onto only half of the tortilla. Put them all on the same half!
Lay a couple strips of bacon on the cheese, top with a couple tablespoons of the fried sausage, and a small handful of diced seared ham.
Add a generous portion of eggs over the top of the meats. Spread with a couple tablespoons of the Picante sauce.
Fold the other half of the tortilla over the eggs, pressing the tortilla with the back of the spatula or spoon.
Fry on one side until gently browned and slightly crisped. Flip, and fry on the other side until it is likewise toasty.

Add another pat of butter for each additional Quesadilla. Repeat the filling and frying.

Plate the fried Quesadillas and cut in half into two triangles. Top with selected accompaniments and side with beans, guacamole, sour cream, etc.

DEVOUR!
