Yield 12 people

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 tablespoons olive oil, plus more as needed
2 large onions, thinly sliced
1 teaspoon sugar
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
9 (8 inch) flour tortillas
3 cups shredded Fontina cheese
3/4 cup jarred roasted red bell peppers, drained well and patted dry
1/3 cup finely chopped fresh Italian parsley leaves, plus springs for garnish
1/3 cup freshly shredded Parmesan cheese, plus 3 tablespoons for garnish

Steps:

  • Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a heavy large skillet over medium-low heat. Add the onions and sugar, and cook until the onions are golden brown, about 20 minutes. Season the onions, to taste, with salt and pepper; set aside. Preheat oven to 250 F. Sprinkle some Fontina over half of a tortilla. Arrange some bell peppers and sauteed onions on top of the Fontina. Sprinkle with chopped parsley and Parmesan. Sprinkle more Fontina over. Fold the clean half over the filling to cover and press gently to seal. Repeat with remaining tortillas evenly dividing the filling ingredients. Heat 1 tablespoon oil on a heavy large griddle over medium heat. Working in batches, cook the quesadillas until the cheese melts and the tortillas are golden brown, adding more oil as needed, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer the quesadillas to baking sheets and keep them warm in the oven while cooking the remaining quesadillas. Sprinkle the remaining Parmesan over the quesadillas. Cut each quesadilla into 4 wedges. Arrange them on a platter. Garnish the platter with parsely springs and serve. Do ahead tip: The quesadillas can be assembled up to 8 hours ahead. Arrange them on a baking sheet, cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate.

I'm not a fan of bell peppers, so I substituted them with onions in my quesadilla.

I'm allergic to dairy, so I used vegan cheese in my quesadilla. It turned out great!

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my quesadilla turned out really dry. I think I might have overcooked it.

The quesadilla was good, but I found the instructions to be a bit confusing. I think it could be improved with some clearer instructions.

This quesadilla was a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add some extra spices next time.

The quesadilla was delicious, but I found it to be a bit too oily. Next time, I'll use less oil.
