Broccoli Quesadillas

WI Cheesehead's Note:

Got this from Delicious Living website. So easy and quick. Here's what the recipe says: "The next time you cook broccoli for dinner, add a little extra so you can make these the next day for lunch or an after-school snack (or even a light supper). You might need to make one at a time, depending on the size of your pan. If desired, keep finished ones warm in the oven until all are cooked." I use cheddar cheese, since I have it on hand. Cook time DOES NOT include cooking the broccoli.

• Total Time: 10 mins
• Prep Time: 5 mins
• Cook Time: 5 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 4

• 4 burrito-size flour tortillas
• 2 cups grated monterey jack cheese , packed (about 1/4 pound)
• 1 ½-2 cups cooked broccoli , chopped, room temperature

Directions:

1. Preheat griddle or heavy skillet over medium heat for 3 minutes. Add a flour tortilla or two and sprinkle each with about 1/2 cup cheese.
2. Divide broccoli (about 1 cup per quesadilla) between tortillas, sprinkling it over the cheese, then divide remaining cheese over broccoli.
3. Top each tortilla with a second tortilla and cook for several minutes, until bottom of lower tortilla is light gold.
4. Flip quesadilla over and cook on second side until bottom is golden. Cheese should be completely melted. Remove from pan and slice into wedges. Serve hot or warm. Cut into smaller wedges for appetizers.

Love the idea of adding veggies to a quesadilla. Made using Jalapeno Jack Cheese, even so this recipe did come up just a smidgen short. Don’t get me wrong it is good it just a little bland. Think I will add a little garlic next. Thanks for the post.

I made this with leftover Steamed Broccoli Rabe With Garlic. I served with Bek's Black Bean Salsa/Pico De Gallo. This is a great way to make a new meal with left overs. Thanks.

This was so easy and so good - a winner on all accounts. I used cauliflower (purple! it looked great with the white cheese!), put the veggies and cheese on one half and then flipped the other half over. I like having the one end sealed to keep the filling from falling out. I used a mix of various Italian cheeses. I might add a little garlic to the veggies next time.
