What You’ll Need For These Quesadillas

  • Meats: Use a combination of leftover charcuterie meats; almost anything goes!
  • Cheese: Like the meats, you can use any type of cheese. Stronger cheeses like blue cheese can overpower the other ingredients, so use them in moderation.
  • Antipasti: If your charcuterie board has items like olives or artichokes, they’re also delicious in these quesadillas.
  • Tortillas: I use large 10-inch flour tortillas—smaller bite-sized tortillas will work too.
  • Honey: While it’s optional, a drizzle of honey before serving takes these to the next level.

Ingredients  

  • 2 large flour tortillas
  • 4 to 6 ounces charcuterie meat about 1 cup chopped
  • 6 to 8 ounces assorted cheese
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped olives optional
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • honey for serving, optional
  • fresh herbs for garnish, optional

Instructions 

  • Place the charcuterie meat on a large cutting board and chop into small pieces.
  • If the cheese is in large pieces, grate it with a cheese grater. If it is smaller pieces, finely chop it with a knife.
  • Heat a small skillet over medium high heat. Add the meat and cook until crisp while stirring, about 3 to 4 minutes.
  • On one half of the tortilla, add half of the cheese, half of the crisped meat and 1 tablespoon of olives if using. Fold the tortilla overtop and brush both sides lightly with olive oil. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
  • Heat a large 12-inch skillet over medium heat. Place both quesadillas in the skillet and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, or until browned and crispy and the cheese has started to melt. Flip the quesadillas over and cook for an additional 2 to 3 minutes or until crisp.
  • Remove from the skillet and transfer to a cutting board. Cut into 3 triangles. Drizzle with honey and garnish with fresh herbs if desired.

Notes

For a crispy parmesan crust, after browning the quesadilla, sprinkle 1 tablespoon of shredded Parmesan cheese on the outside of the quesadilla. Cook until the cheese is crisped on the outside of the tortilla.
