👩🍳 Step-by-Step Recipe
🥣 Step 1: Prepare the Creamy Filling
➡️ In a bowl, combine ricotta or cream cheese with chopped herbs, onions, and sun-dried tomatoes.
➡️ Add a pinch of salt, black pepper, and chili flakes if you like a little heat.
➡️ Mix everything until creamy and evenly combined.
🧀 Step 2: Assemble the Quesadillas
➡️ Lay one tortilla flat on a clean surface.
➡️ Spread a generous layer of the creamy filling over half of the tortilla.
➡️ Sprinkle plenty of mozzarella cheese on top for that gooey melt.
➡️ Fold the tortilla over to create a half-moon shape.
🔥 Step 3: Toast Until Crispy
➡️ Heat a skillet or pan over medium heat.
➡️ Add butter or olive oil and let it melt.
➡️ Place the folded quesadilla into the pan and cook for 2–3 minutes per side.
➡️ Press gently with a spatula while cooking to help the cheese melt evenly.
➡️ Flip carefully and cook until both sides are deep golden brown and crispy.
✨ Step 4: Slice & Serve
➡️ Transfer the quesadilla to a cutting board.
➡️ Let it rest for 1 minute so the cheese settles slightly.
➡️ Slice into triangles and garnish with fresh herbs. 🌿
➡️ Serve hot while the cheese is perfectly stretchy and melty! 🧀🔥
