Ingredients
Scale
Cheese Mixture
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Main Ingredients
- 2 ripe peaches, thinly sliced
- 2 large flour tortillas
Optional Toppings
- Honey, for drizzling
- Chopped fresh mint, for garnish
Instructions
- Prep the peaches: Wash the ripe peaches thoroughly and slice them into thin wedges to ensure even distribution and easy folding within the quesadilla.
- Mix the cheeses: In a bowl, combine softened cream cheese and shredded mozzarella until fully blended, creating a creamy cheese mixture.
- Assemble the quesadillas: Lay one flour tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread the cheese mixture evenly over half of the tortilla, then layer the peach slices on top. Fold the tortilla over to cover the filling.
- Cook the quesadillas: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Place the folded quesadilla in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the tortilla is golden brown and the cheese has melted inside.
- Serve: Remove the quesadilla from the skillet, slice into wedges, then drizzle with honey and garnish with chopped mint if desired for added sweetness and freshness.
Notes
- Use ripe but firm peaches to avoid sogginess.
- Feel free to substitute mozzarella with other melting cheeses like Monterey Jack or cheddar.
- Adjust the amount of honey to your preferred level of sweetness or omit for a less sweet version.
- For a crispier texture, press the quesadilla lightly with a spatula while cooking.
- Make sure the skillet is not too hot to prevent burning before the cheese melts.
