• Form 16 (2"-wide) patties about 1/2" thick with damp hands and arrange on a large parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet.
• Heat 1 Tbsp. oil in a large cast-iron or nonstick skillet over medium. Cook patties in batches, adding remaining 1 Tbsp. oil to skillet between batches, until golden brown and cooked through, about 2 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.
• Do ahead
• Uncooked patties can be formed 1 day ahead; wrap in plastic and chill. Patties can be cooked 30 minutes ahead; keep warm in a low oven.

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.
• In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of the neutral oil over medium heat. Add one quesadilla and cook until golden brown and crispy, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Place it on a baking sheet to keep warm in the oven. Prepare the second quesadilla with the remaining ingredients.
• 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.
