Four Cheese Pizza Quesadillas With Optional Pepperoni Recipes

FOUR-CHEESE PIZZA QUESADILLAS WITH OPTIONAL PEPPERONI

Steps:

• 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.

4 CHEESE PEPPERONI PIZZADILLA

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler.
• Heat the butter and oil in a large, oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Place one flour tortilla in the skillet. Spread a few tablespoons pizza sauce on the tortilla, leaving a little room around the edges. Sprinkle half of the provolone and half of the fontina over the sauce. Sprinkle a third of the mozzarella next, followed by 1 tablespoon Parmesan and 1/2 teaspoon oregano.
• Top with the second tortilla and press it down gently. Once the underside is perfectly toasted, carefully flip the quesadilla to the other side.
• Spread a few more tablespoons pizza sauce on the toasted side of the tortilla, being sure to leave a little bit of the edges exposed so it looks like a pizza. Sprinkle with another third of the mozzarella and the remaining provolone, fontina, Parmesan and oregano.
• Arrange the red bell pepper and red onion on top of the cheeses like you would on a pizza. Do the same with the pepperoni slices and the olives. Top with the remaining mozzarella.
• Transfer the pan to the broiler and let cook to melt the cheese on top, about 2 minutes. Carefully transfer the pizzadilla to a cutting board using a large spatula or two smaller spatulas.
• Warm up the remaining pizza sauce and serve in a bowl for dipping. Cut the pizzadilla into wedges and garnish with the torn basil.

PEPPERONI PIZZA QUESADILLAS RECIPE - (4.8/5)

Steps:

• Heat a medium skillet over medium heat and fry the pepperoni until crisp. Transfer on a paper towel to drain. Brush each tortilla with a thin layer of pizza sauce so that if you turned it over, none would drip. Sprinkle cheese on top of the sauce on the bottom tortilla. Top with pepperoni and other toppings, if desired. Sprinkle with another layer of cheese and place the other tortilla on top, sauce side in. Heat a medium cast-iron skilled over medium heat. Lay quesadilla in the pan and cook for 3 to 5 minutes on each side, until cheese is melted and tortillas are crispy. Slice into quarters and serve with a little bowl of pizza dipping sauce.

PEPPERONI PIZZA QUESADILLA

Steps:

• Place one flour tortilla on a baking sheet or pan. Place 2 tablespoon's of pizza sauce or spagetti sauce (bertolli is great) on tortilla and spread evenly over surface of tortilla.
• Place 4-6 pepperoni slices on top of sauce, then sprinkle with parmesean cheese.
• Take one slice of provolone cheese and tear it into four equally sized pieces. Place the four pieces on top of tortilla surface.
• Sprinkle mozzerella cheese (not very much) over all ingrediants.
• Place 4-6 more pepperoni slices over mozzerella, then sprinkle minced garlic over the mozzerella.
• Put second flour tortilla over top of your now tortilla pizza. Place one more whole slice of provolone directly in middle of toritlla, put just sprinkle of mozzerella cheese, then some crushed red pepper.
• Place in oven (set for 450 degrees) and wait about 10 minutes.
• Check on your quesidilla and see if it is done (the tortillas need to be a little brown on the outside to give it a crust like texture). If its done take it out.
• Cut into four triangles, and enjoy!
