Sheet Pan Breakfast Quesadillas Recipe
This Sheet Pan Breakfast Quesadillas recipe was an instant hit at my house. The best part is that the leftovers are just as wonderful. A giant quesadilla baked in the oven and loaded with wonderful breakfast flavors is sure to be wonderful! With a crunchy tortilla shell and layers of deliciousness inside, this is now our new go-to breakfast recipe. Keep scrolling to get the recipe and make it for your family too!
I say this every single time I post a breakfast recipe but I am not a breakfast lover. My poor family has to fend for themselves normally when it comes to breakfast.
So when I made this quesadilla you would have thought that I made a 5 star dish. Darb and Lanie loved it and like I said…they thought the leftovers were just as good.
I especially love that you can go crazy with the toppings. I like to put sour cream, salsa and fresh avocado with it and let everyone go crazy.
This would also be awesome for a “breakfast for dinner” night! In fact, I think that I am putting a Sheet Pan Breakfast Quesadilla on the menu this week.

How to make a Sheet Pan Quesadilla
To make a sheet pan quesadilla spray the sheet pan with non stick spray. Then lay the tortillas on the sheet pan.
The tortillas should overlap in the middle and and the outer quarter will be hanging over the sides of the pan.
The first layer is half of the shredded cheese. Keep the fillings in a rectangle in the middle of the tortillas with enough tortillas around the edges empty, so that they can be folded over the fillings at the end.
The next addition is the hash browns. I used an O’Brien hash browns. Be sure that each layer is cooked through before adding them to the quesadilla.
What are O’Brien Hash Browns?
O’Brien hash browns have the addition of red and green bell peppers which is perfect for this dish.
Scrambled eggs are the next layer of the breakfast quesadilla. Keep every layer within the same rectangle.
Cooked breakfast sausage is added to the top of the scrambled eggs but could easily be substituted with bacon or ham.
The great thing about this breakfast quesadilla is that you can mix and match the ingredients according to what you and your family like or have in the refrigerator.
The rest of the cheese is the final layer. Beginning and ending with cheese is what will hold all of the delicious fillings in place.
Folding a Sheet Pan Quesadilla
The final step is folding the sheet pan quesadilla. Begin by folding in the end tortillas and then the two side tortillas on each side. You may need to tuck the edges to get a clean fold.
Spray the top of the quesadilla with non stick spray and sprinkle it with kosher salt.
You will be amazed at what great flavor that small addition can make.
Add a second sheet pan to the top of the quesadilla and then bake it for 20 minutes.
This second sheet pan will give the quesadilla some weight and allow everything to cook more evenly.
After 20 minutes remove the top sheet pan and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes or until the quesadilla is golden brown.
Cool for 3-5 minutes and then cut into 8 squares. I like to use a pizza cutter but a nice sharp knife works great too.
Serve with a side of salsa and sour cream for a complete breakfast that everyone will be excited about.
