Print Recipe

Ingredients

  • 1 medium tortilla
  • 2 eggs
  • A few slices of cheddar cheese ideally with Trader Joes caramelized onion cheddar
  • 1 shallot or onion
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1 sausage link - I did hot sausage
  • Sea salt
  • Pepper

Instructions

  • Thinly slice onion or shallot and add to a pan with olive oil, salt and pepper. Cook stirring often for about 20 min or until onion has softened and browned. Remove from pan.
  • Remove sausage from casing and push into tortilla in a thin even layer. You dont want this to get too thick as you want it to cook all the way through
  • Add butter to same pan add sausage tortilla face down. Cook for about 5 min or until sausage is nicely brown and then flip and cook for about 5 min on medium / low heat.
  • Remove from pan and wipe pan clean. Melt butter in pan and whisk 2 eggs in a bowl. Pour into pan in an even layer. Add onions and cheddar to the center, then fold each of the sides. This will help the cheddar melt.
  • Add to the center of the tortilla and fold over. Slice in half and enjoy!
