Chop the cooked ham into small bite-sized pieces and, if using, thinly slice the green onions.
Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat and add 1/2 tablespoon of butter. Allow the butter to melt and coat the pan evenly.
Place one flour tortilla into the skillet and sprinkle 1/4 cup of shredded cheddar cheese evenly over half of the tortilla.
Add 1/4 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese on top of the cheddar layer.
Sprinkle 1/4 cup of chopped ham over the cheese, and, if using, add a small handful of sliced green onions for extra flavor.
Fold the tortilla in half, pressing gently with a spatula to seal the edges as the cheese begins to melt.
Cook for 2-3 minutes on the first side until golden brown, then carefully flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes on the other side until the tortilla is crispy and the cheese is fully melted.
Remove the quesadilla from the skillet and place it on a cutting board to cool slightly while repeating the process with the remaining ingredients.
Slice each quesadilla into wedges and serve warm with sour cream and salsa on the side for dipping.
