Categories appetizer

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

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:

To ensure even cooking, use a large skillet or griddle over medium heat.
For a crispy quesadilla, use less filling and cook for a longer time.
If you are using a nonstick skillet, you may not need to add any oil.
If you are using a regular skillet, add a small amount of oil to prevent the quesadilla from sticking.
To prevent the cheese from leaking out, use a good quality melting cheese and sprinkle it evenly over the tortilla.
To make sure the cheese is melted and gooey, cover the skillet while cooking.
If you are using a flavored tortilla, be sure to choose a flavor that complements the other ingredients.
For a fun presentation, cut the quesadilla into wedges or triangles before serving.
Serve the quesadilla with your favorite dipping sauce, such as salsa, guacamole, or sour cream.
