BREAKFAST QUESADILLA WITH MAPLE SAUSAGE AND CHARRED POBLANOS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• On a baking sheet, drizzle the poblano peppers with 1 tablespoon olive oil and season them with salt and pepper. Roast for 15 minutes, flipping them once halfway through so they are charred side up for the last half. When the peppers are cool enough to handle, slice off their tops, split them down the middle, scrape out the seeds, and roughly chop the flesh.
• Reduce the oven temperature to 250 degrees F.
• In a small skillet, heat the sausages in the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium heat until fully warmed through and lightly browned on all sides, 5 to 8 minutes. Roughly chop the sausages.
• In a bowl, season the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper and whisk until they are light and airy.
• In a large nonstick skillet, heat the butter over medium-high heat. When the butter begins to foam and sizzle, pour in the eggs. As the outside begins to cook, lift up the eggs with a heatproof spatula so that the runny center flows to the side of the pan. When the bottom is cooked-about 30 seconds-carefully flip the eggs so that they're now top-side down. If you're not comfortable flipping the eggs, scramble them with a spatula until they're soft and fluffy, 15 to 20 seconds after the bottom is cooked. Immediately remove the eggs from the heat and split them down the middle so you have two half-moons.
• On one half of each tortilla, layer the poblanos, eggs, sausage, spinach, and Monterey Jack cheese, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Fold the tortillas over to make a quesadilla shape.

• When both quesadillas have been cooked, slice them into triangle and serve with the Greek yogurt or sour cream. Drizzle with hot sauce and sprinkle with cilantro or parsley if desired.
