Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Shred the cheddar cheese if it's not pre-shredded.
- Slice or tear the ham into smaller, bite-sized pieces for easier distribution.
- Place a medium-sized skillet or pan over medium heat.
- Add the butter and allow it to melt, spreading it evenly across the skillet.
- Lay one tortilla flat in the skillet on top of the melted butter.
- Evenly distribute the shredded cheddar cheese over the tortilla, leaving a small margin around the edges to prevent overflow.
- Scatter the sliced ham evenly over the cheese.
- Place the second tortilla on top, pressing gently to help the ingredients stick together.
- Allow the quesadilla to cook for about 3-4 minutes on the first side, until the bottom tortilla is golden brown and crispy.
- Carefully flip the quesadilla using a spatula.
- Cook the second side for another 3-4 minutes, until it is also golden brown and the cheese inside has fully melted.
- Remove the quesadilla from the skillet and place on a cutting board.
- Let it cool for a minute before slicing into wedges.
- Serve your ham and cheddar quesadilla hot with your favorite sides or dipping sauces such as salsa, guacamole, or sour cream.
Tips:
- For an added flavor boost, you can sprinkle some herbs like oregano or a dash of hot sauce before folding the quesadilla.
- If you prefer a crisper texture, cook the quesadilla on medium heat without the lid on the pan.
- Using a non-stick skillet can reduce the amount of butter needed and make the quesadilla easier to flip.
- Serve with a side of salsa, guacamole, or sour cream for extra flavor.
