๐ฉโ๐ณ Step-by-Step Recipe
๐ฅฃ Step 1: Prepare the Creamy Filling

๐ง Step 2: Assemble the Quesadillas
โก๏ธ Lay one tortilla flat on a clean surface.
โก๏ธ Spread a generous layer of the creamy filling over half of the tortilla.
โก๏ธ Sprinkle plenty of mozzarella cheese on top for that gooey melt.
โก๏ธ Fold the tortilla over to create a half-moon shape.
๐ฅ Step 3: Toast Until Crispy
โก๏ธ Heat a skillet or pan over medium heat.
โก๏ธ Add butter or olive oil and let it melt.
โก๏ธ Place the folded quesadilla into the pan and cook for 2โ3 minutes per side.
โก๏ธ Press gently with a spatula while cooking to help the cheese melt evenly.
โก๏ธ Flip carefully and cook until both sides are deep golden brown and crispy.
โจ Step 4: Slice & Serve
โก๏ธ Transfer the quesadilla to a cutting board.
โก๏ธ Let it rest for 1 minute so the cheese settles slightly.
โก๏ธ Slice into triangles and garnish with fresh herbs. ๐ฟ
โก๏ธ Serve hot while the cheese is perfectly stretchy and melty! ๐ง๐ฅ
