Oven-toasted Sonoran Quesadilla
|
Category: Breakfast Typical recipe from: United States Ready in: 20 minutes Servings: 4 people |  |
| Ingredients: One large (13-inch diameter) flour tortilla 1 Tbsp butter 1/2 cup of grated cheddar cheese |
Directions: Place the tortilla on a large, dark cookie sheet. Spread butter all over the top of the tortilla, making sure to get the butter all the way out to the edges. (The butter is very important! Don't omit.) Place in the cold oven and cook for 7-10 minutes at 375°F on convection heat, or until the tortilla begins to visibly brown. If you open the oven door you should be able to smell the tortilla beginning to toast. Remove from the oven, sprinkle cheese over the tortilla (add strips of chiles if you want) and return to oven for an additional 2 minutes. Serve immediately. If you are starting with a preheated oven, you will cook it initially for probably only 2 or 3 minutes on convection - watch it carefully, and pull it out when it begins to brown. We recommend the convection oven approach if you have that option as the cooking time (and heating up the oven and your kitchen time) is much shorter. |
