Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 cup Queso fresco (crumbled)
- 1 cup Sour cream
- 0.25 cup Evaporated milk
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter (melted)
- 3 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round or square baking dish.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sugar, grated Parmesan cheese, and crumbled queso fresco.
Add the sour cream, evaporated milk, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract to the cheese mixture. Whisk until smooth and fully combined.
Gradually sift the flour mixture into the wet ingredients while stirring gently to avoid overmixing. The batter should be smooth and slightly thick.
Pour the batter evenly into the prepared baking dish.
Optional: Sprinkle sesame seeds on top for a traditional touch.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and let the quesadilla cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before slicing.
Serve warm or at room temperature alongside a cup of coffee or tea.
