CRISPY-EDGED QUESADILLA



Crispy-Edged Quesadilla image

This straightforward quesadilla has an unexpected twist: a border of salty, crispy cheese surrounding the tortilla. Achieving it couldn't be easier; just press down on the folded tortilla as it heats up in the pan so the cheese spills out and turns golden. A nonstick pan is key here, otherwise the melted cheese will glue itself onto the cooking surface. Medium heat is just the right temperature for a quesadilla: It's hot enough to crisp up the cheese but low enough to prevent the cheese from burning.

Categories     dinner, easy, lunch, quick, snack, weeknight, finger foods, appetizer, main course

Time 10m

Yield 1 quesadilla

Number Of Ingredients 3

2 teaspoons oil (such as olive, grapeseed or sunflower oil)
1 (8-inch) flour tortilla
2/3 cup shredded cheese (such as Cheddar, Monterey Jack or Mexican cheese blend)

Steps:

  • Place a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat, then add the oil. Let oil heat up for 20 seconds, swirling the pan around so the oil coats the bottom.
  • Place the tortilla in the skillet and sprinkle the cheese evenly over the top. Once the cheese begins to melt, 30 seconds to 1 minute, use a spatula to fold the tortilla in half. Using the spatula, press down firmly on the top of the tortilla until some of the cheese runs out into the pan. Let the quesadilla cook until the cheese that's leaked out solidifies and turns brown, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Flip the quesadilla over and let cook on the other side for another 1 to 2 minutes, until the cheese is crisp and golden. Slide quesadilla onto a plate and serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cheese. A good melting cheese is essential for a gooey, flavorful quesadilla. Some good options include cheddar, Monterey Jack, and pepper Jack.
  • Use fresh, flavorful peppers. Roasted red peppers add a delicious smoky flavor to the quesadilla. You can also use other types of peppers, such as poblanos or jalapeños, for a different flavor profile.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. When grilling the quesadilla, make sure to leave enough space between each one so that they can cook evenly.
  • Cook the quesadilla over medium heat. This will help to prevent the cheese from burning and the peppers from getting too soft.
  • Flip the quesadilla frequently. This will ensure that it cooks evenly on both sides.
  • Serve the quesadilla immediately. Quesadillas are best enjoyed hot and fresh out of the pan.

Conclusion:

Grilled pepper cheese quesadillas are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a quick lunch or dinner. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a flavorful and satisfying dish that the whole family will love. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give grilled pepper cheese quesadillas a try. You won't be disappointed!
