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.

I'm always looking for new and exciting ways to use up leftover ham. This quesadilla is a great option! It's easy to make and very tasty. I will definitely be making this again.

This quesadilla was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would omit the cinnamon next time.

I'm not sure why this recipe has so many positive reviews. I thought it was just okay. The ham was bland and the apple was tasteless. I wouldn't make this again.

This quesadilla is a great idea, but I think it needs a few tweaks. I would add some diced onions and bell peppers to the filling, and I would also use a different type of cheese. Maybe a cheddar or Monterey Jack would be better.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my quesadilla didn't turn out well. The cheese didn't melt properly and the ham was tough. I'm not sure what went wrong.

This quesadilla was a disappointment. The ham was dry and the apple was too tart. The cheese was the only thing that saved it.
