Categories     appetizer

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

Eight 6-inch whole wheat tortillas
Cooking spray or olive oil, for oiling tortillas
1 tablespoon spicy brown or Dijon mustard
1 cup shredded low-sodium Swiss (4 ounces)
4 ounces very thinly sliced low-sodium lean Black Forest or Virginia ham
1/2 small red onion, extra thinly sliced
Freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 tablespoons no-sugar-added apple butter, plus more for topping, optional
2 small apples, cut into thin sticks (red and green)
Lemon juice and ground cinnamon for tossing

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F.
  • Spray 4 of the tortillas with cooking spray (or brush with olive oil). Lay the oiled tortillas on a large cutting board oiled-side down. Brush with the mustard and sprinkle with about half of the cheese. Top each evenly with a thin layer of ham, onions and some pepper, and then finish with the remaining cheese.
  • Brush the apple butter evenly on the remaining tortillas. Place one apple-butter tortilla on top of a ham-and-cheese tortilla (filling sides in), and firmly press the tortillas together to make a quesadilla.
  • Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Lay a quesadilla oiled-side down in the pan and cook until golden brown and the cheese starts to melt, about 2 minutes. Spray the top of the quesadilla with cooking spray, turn and cook until the other side browns and the cheese is melted, 2 to 3 minutes more. Transfer to a baking sheet and keep warm in the oven. Repeat with the remaining quesadillas.
  • Cut the quesadillas into 4 wedges and arrange on plates. Toss the apples with lemon and juice and cinnamon to taste. Serve with the apple slices.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Tortillas: Use large, high-quality tortillas that can hold all the ingredients without tearing. Flour tortillas or whole-wheat tortillas are ideal choices.
  • Use Good Quality Cheese: Opt for a cheese that melts well, such as cheddar, Monterey Jack, or mozzarella. Grated cheese is easier to distribute evenly and melts more quickly.
  • Don't Overstuff the Quesadilla: While it's tempting to pile on the ingredients, too much filling can make the quesadilla difficult to fold and may cause the tortilla to tear.
  • Cook in Small Batches: Cooking quesadillas in small batches helps ensure that they are cooked evenly and prevents overcrowding the pan.
  • Use a Non-Stick Pan or Griddle: This will help prevent the quesadilla from sticking and make it easier to flip.
  • Serve with Dipping Sauces: Quesadillas are delicious on their own, but they are even better when served with dipping sauces such as salsa, guacamole, or sour cream.

Conclusion:

Ham, apple, and cheese quesadillas are a quick, easy, and delicious meal that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a satisfying and flavorful quesadilla that is sure to please everyone at the table.
