- 2 teaspoons Butter
- 1 tablespoon (finely chopped, optional for garnish) Chives
- 1 pinch (optional) Salt
- 1 pinch (optional) Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
1. Start by softening the cream cheese. Remove it from the refrigerator and allow it to sit at room temperature for about 5–10 minutes or microwave it for 10 seconds if you’re short on time.
Step 2
2. Lay one flour tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread the softened cream cheese evenly over the entire surface of the tortilla using a butter knife or spatula.
Step 3
3. Sprinkle the shredded Swiss cheese evenly over the cream cheese layer.
Step 4
4. Add a pinch of salt and black pepper, if desired, to enhance the flavor.
Step 5
5. Place the second tortilla on top, pressing gently to adhere the layers together.
Step 6
6. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add 1 teaspoon of butter and allow it to melt, swirling it around the pan.
Step 7
7. Carefully place the quesadilla in the skillet. Cook for about 2–3 minutes on one side, or until the bottom tortilla is golden brown and crispy.
Step 8
8. Add the remaining teaspoon of butter to the skillet, then flip the quesadilla using a spatula. Cook the other side for another 2–3 minutes, or until golden brown and the cheese is melted.
Step 9
9. Remove the quesadilla from the skillet and transfer it to a cutting board. Let it cool slightly for 1–2 minutes.
Step 10
10. Use a sharp knife or pizza cutter to slice the quesadilla into 4 or 6 wedges.
Step 11
