Tomato and basil quesadillas
Imagine pizza Margherita and bruschetta in quesadilla form. Juicy tomatoes, fresh basil and mozzarella enclosed in tortilla grilled until crisp and the cheese has turned gooey.
Servings 2 people
Ingredients
- 1 clove garlic peeled
- 4 six-inch tortillas
- 1 tomato thinly sliced (I used my mandolin slicer)
- 12 large sweet basil leaves torn
- ½ cup shredded mozzarella
- salt
- pepper
Instructions
- Take the clove of garlic, cut to expose the center then rub the exposed center on one surface of all the tortillas.
- Lay two tortillas flat (the sides rubbed with garlic on top).
- Divide the tomato slices, basil and mozzarella between them.
- Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Top with the remaining two tortillas, garlic-rubbed sides touching the filling (that’s two sandwiches!).
- Grill on an oil-free skillet until heated through and the cheese melts, turning to brown both the top and bottom tortillas.
- Cut into quarters and serve immediately.
