LUNCHBOX PIZZA QUESADILLA

Steps:

• These are made just like any other quesadilla or grilled cheese sandwich.
• Spray the bottom of a non-stick skillet with cooking spray and preheat.
• When the pan is fairly hot place 1 Flour Tortilla in the pan.
• Fairly quickly (because you want to get everything on before the bottom starts to brown) spread on a few tablespoons of sauce.
• Then add a layer of Pepperoni (and anything else you like).
• Then top with shredded cheese.
• Top it off with the 2nd Flour Tortilla.
• Just like any other quesadilla or grilled cheese let it brown then flip it over. If all of the cooking spray was absorbed you can spray on a little more, but you usually don't need to.
• After both sides are browned and the insides are hot and melted take the "pizzas" out to cool.
• Once cooled slice in 1/4 like a pizza and wrap snugly with plastic wrap or aluminum foil.
• Tips and Ideas.
• My son is not super picky so I made these in batches and freeze and then take them out the morning of school and pop into his lunchbox. It is usually thawed and yummy by lunch time. If you freeze them you need to let the cool completely first the wrap them separately in plastic wrap and then aluminum foil to prevent ice crystals from forming.

PIZZA QUESADILLA

Steps:

• Heat griddle or skillet to medium low heat. Butter one side of each tortilla. Place one tortilla, buttered side down, onto hot griddle or skillet. Sprinkle a light layer of cheese. Spoon sauce on to cheese, leaving 1/4" edge sauce free around tortilla. Place a thin layer of favorite ingredients (ours is pepperoni!). Top with remaining cheese. Place second tortilla butter side up onto cheese. Allow to cook until bottom tortilla is golden and crispy. Flip and cook second side until golden and crispy and cheese has melted. Remove from heat, slice and devour!

• Repeat with remaining butter and quesadillas. Cut each quesadilla into 16 square pieces. Serve with warmed pizza sauce.

SPUR-OF-THE-MOMENT ESSENTIALS: PIZZA QUESADILLA

Steps:

• You will need a skillet to make these yummy pizzas. Although they could be made in an air fryer, or even baked, I have not tried those methods, yet.
• Best Cheeses for Pizza Before making any pizza, you need cheese, but not just any old cheese, it is essential to understand what makes a cheese a good cheese for pizza. It needs to have: • Good browning capability without burning. • Just the right melting structure that will melt smoothly, and still retain a certain thickness. • Stretchability that leaves those yummy strands clinging to the pizza as you pull away your slice. • Low fat content helps the cheese to achieve that perfect stretch and melt • Low moisture levels helps the cheese develop that awesome browning without burning With that said, these are some of my favorite cheeses to use when making pizzas: • Mozzarella • Provolone • Parmesan • Gouda • Goat • Gruyere • Ricotta One more thing, never buy pre-shredded cheese, they come with things like cellulose (that comes from trees). Either cut off slices of fresh cheese from a bloc or shred your own.
• Best Meats for a Pizza Lots of good stuff out there... here are a few of my favorites: Pepperoni Pepperoni is a good call on any pizza. To get rid of some the excess grease I usually put them between two paper towels and nuke them for about 20 seconds before tossing them on the pie. Soppressata Similar to pepperoni, with a deeper flavor. Sausage A good Italian sausage is best if crumbled and spread all over the pizza; although, I sometimes like it in chunks. Do not forget to precook and drain as much of the excess grease as possible. Bacon Precooked, diced, and crispy, bacon is always a good choice Prosciutto Thinly sliced and spread over the pizza like a comforting blanket... Yummy. Meatballs Placed on the pie whole or sliced up. Italian pork/beef meatballs are the way to go. Chicken Cooked and shredded chicken with some Italian spices, or how about some buffalo chicken, served with some ranch dressing as a dipping sauce... Do I have your attention?
• The Best Spices for Pizza Here are a few of the spices that I like: • oregano • basil (fresh) • dried onion flakes • garlic powder • thyme • fennel • paprika • ground black pepper
• Dipping Sauce If I am not dipping my pizza into homemade ranch dressing, then it will be a yummy tangy pizza (red) sauce.

• Gather your ingredients (mise en place).
• Add a tablespoon of butter to a skillet over medium heat. While the butter is melting, brush some mayo on one side of a tortilla. Add mayo-side down, then add the cheese and other good stuff. The mayo helps in the browning process, and adds rich/deep flavor.
• Brush some mayo on one side of another tortilla, and add to the top, mayo-side up.
• When browned, about 3 - 4 minutes, flip and brown the other side. Just look at that yummy melted cheese.
• FYI: The pizza quesadilla I photographed for this recipe was the one for my housekeeper... she just likes cheese. The rest of us are carnivores.
• PLATE/PRESENT
• Cut up and serve with your favorite dipping sauce. Enjoy.
• Keep the faith, and keep cooking.
