Mushroom Cheese Quesadillas
INGREDIENTS:
8 large flour tortillas (La Tortilla Factory make great low carb tortillas. I order them by the case and freeze them)
FILLING:
4 cups mushrooms, sliced
1 large onion, sliced
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp dried thyme or oregano
1-1 ½ cups grated cheese (Mozarella, cheddar, goat, Brie….
Your favorite spicy mustard to “butter” the tortilla
DIRECTIONS:
1. Preheat the oven to 400°F/200°C
2. In a large skillet heat olive oil over medium high heat. Sauté the mushrooms and onions until the onions are limp and golden (about 5 minutes). Remove from heat and add the dried herbs and lightly mix.
3. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil wrap (for easy cleanups).
4. Spoon the filling on 2 tortillas, “butter” each with mustard, add half the mushroom onion mixture, sprinkle with ½ of the cheese. Top with the other tortilla and lightly press down. Repeat for the rest of the quesadillas.
5. Bake in the middle of the oven for 10 minutes or so (it will be golden and start to crisp) and flip. Bake for another 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and cut into wedges to serve.
An alternative cooking method: Use a hot grill pan or skillet on top of the stove for 3 minutes or so per side.
