Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 8- inch flour tortillas
3/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup shredded fontina cheese
1/2 cup shredded provolone cheese (or about half of a one-ounce slice)
1/4 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup pizza sauce plus additional sauce for dipping
Optional pepperoni
1/4 cup sliced pepperoni per quesadilla

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.
