Description
Sweet & Savory Peach Quesadillas are a quick and flavorful dish combining juicy peaches with melted cheese in a crispy tortilla. It’s the perfect balance of sweet, salty, and savory—great as a snack, light meal, or summer appetizer.
Ingredients
- 4 flour tortillas
- 2 ripe peaches, thinly sliced
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella or Monterey Jack cheese
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter (for cooking)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional toppings: fresh basil or arugula, red pepper flakes, honey, or balsamic glaze
Instructions
- Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Lightly brush one side of each tortilla with olive oil or butter.
- Place a tortilla oiled-side down in the skillet. On one half, layer cheese and peach slices. Season with salt, pepper, and optional extras like basil or red pepper flakes.
- Fold the tortilla in half and cook for 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown and the cheese is melted.
- Remove from the skillet, let cool slightly, then slice into wedges.
- Serve warm with a drizzle of honey or balsamic glaze, if desired.
Notes
- Don’t overload the quesadilla—too many peaches can make it soggy.
- To make it more filling, add cooked shredded chicken or use a heartier cheese like goat or sharp cheddar.
- For extra crispiness, press the quesadilla gently with a spatula while cooking.
