Four-Cheese Pizza Quesadillas with Optional Pepperoni
Cheesy, versatile, cheesy, easy, cheesy, fast, and did I mention cheesy? This scrumptious pizza-quesadilla hybrid is our new favorite easy weeknight meal.
Ingredients
- 2 8- inch flour tortillas
- 3/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded fontina cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded provolone cheese or about half of a one-ounce slice
- 1/4 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup pizza sauce plus additional sauce for dipping
- Optional pepperoni
- 1/4 cup sliced pepperoni per quesadilla
Instructions
- Lay a tortilla flat, and on the bottom half only, spread 2 tablespoons pizza sauce. Sprinkle half the mozzarella, fontina, provolone, and Parmesan cheeses. Repeat with second tortilla. Evenly lay the pepperoni over the cheese, if using.
- Carefully fold the top half over to create a half-moon shape.
- Place the in a pre-heated panini press and cook until cheese is melted and outside is golden-crisp. Alternately, cook in a saute pan drizzled with vegetable oil or canola oil over medium-high heat, carefully flipping occasionally, until the cheese is melted and both sides are golden-brown.
- Cut into wedges and serve with additional pizza sauce for dipping.
