Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Flour tortillas
- 4 slices Sliced deli ham
- 4 slices Sliced deli turkey
- 8 slices Swiss cheese
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1 tablespoon Powdered sugar
- 1 cup Raspberry jam
Instructions
Lay out 2 flour tortillas on a clean surface. On each tortilla, layer 2 slices of Swiss cheese, followed by 2 slices of ham and 2 slices of turkey. Top with another slice of Swiss cheese, then place the second tortilla on top to form a quesadilla.
In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined. Set aside.
Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter. Allow the butter to melt and coat the bottom of the pan.
Carefully dip one quesadilla into the egg mixture, making sure to coat both sides evenly. Allow any excess egg mixture to drip off.
Place the dipped quesadilla into the hot skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on one side, or until golden brown. Flip and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes on the other side, ensuring the cheese is melted and the tortilla is golden and crisp. Remove from the pan and repeat the process with the second quesadilla.
Slice each quesadilla into quarters and arrange on a serving plate. Dust with powdered sugar for a touch of sweetness.
Serve warm with raspberry jam on the side for dipping. Enjoy immediately!
