The fall is almost here and honestly, I am very excited! I love cool fall days with some good friends, some hearty foods & wine, and above all- FOOTBALL! And boy do I have a delicious recipe for you! Courtesy of
Real Simple, ham & cheese quesadilla's are absolutely divine! So easy to prepare and so yummy. This recipe is for two but can be doubled, tripled, whatever. Required ingredients are: 6 tortillas, 1/2 lb black forest ham, 1/4 lb fresh mozarella & a ripe cantaloupe cut into small pieces (if you so choose).
Directions Are To:
- Heat the broiler on high
- Grease a cookie sheet with some spray butter
- Slice the mozarella into thin slices (about 12 slices)
- Place a tortilla on the cookie sheet
- Place 2 pieces of ham & 2 slivers of mozarella onto tortilla & fold in half
- Repeat with additional tortillas until finished
- Place cookie sheet in oven for 5-6 minutes (or until the tops of the tortillas are browned)
- Take out, slice each quesadilla into 1/3rds and serve with the cantaloupe
This recipe is bsolutely delicious and doesn't take too much time, which is always key. My husband and I had this for dinner a few nights ago and really enjoyed it! However, it can also be served as an appetizer when friends are over to watch the game or over for a few cocktails on a Friday or Saturday night. There are a couple beverages I would serve with this tasty dish and they are...Hoegaarden (a pale ale) with an orange wedge ($9 for 6 12 ounce bottles) or some Rutherford Grove Sauvignon Blanc ($14/bottle).
Enjoy & drink up!
