Description
A delicious and flavorful twist on a classic dish, this Tasty Cordon Bleu Quesadilla combines Swiss cheese, deli ham, and grilled chicken, all drizzled with a rich Parmesan Dijon sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 4 slices Swiss or Provolone cheese
- 2–3 slices deli ham
- 1/4 cup grilled chicken breast, sliced
- 2 8-10 inch flour tortillas
- 2 tablespoons toasted breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup milk
- Dash hot sauce (optional)
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 chicken bouillon cube
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon flour
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, melt some butter at medium heat. Stir in the flour and the chicken bouillon, cooking for about a minute or so.
- Gradually pour in the milk while whisking. Add the Dijon mustard and hot sauce, and keep whisking for 5 minutes until the sauce thickens up.
- Take it off the heat, stir in the grated Parmesan, and season lightly with salt and pepper. Let it stay warm on low heat.
- Heat up a large skillet over medium and melt some butter in it. Lay one tortilla flat on the buttered skillet.
- Add a layer of sliced cheese, then a few slices of ham, sprinkle some breadcrumbs, toss on the chicken, and drizzle some sauce on top.
- Add more cheese, a little extra breadcrumbs, and cover with the second tortilla.
- Cook until the first side is golden, flip it carefully, and wait until the other side’s crispy and golden too.
- When the quesadilla is ready, take it out of the pan and cut it into portions. Use the leftover sauce for dipping and dig in.
Notes
- Feel free to customize fillings with other veggies or meats as desired.
- Make sure to adjust the sauce thickness by adding more milk if needed.
