Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 cup shredded dill havarti cheese For a creamier texture, grate the Havarti cheese yourself.
  • 8-9 slices dill pickles Pat pickles dry to prevent moisture.
  • 1 extra-large wheat tortilla Use a large tortilla for best folding.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Pat the dill pickle slices dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
  2. Heat a griddle pan over medium-high heat until it is hot.
Assembly
  1. Lay the wheat tortilla flat. Sprinkle half of the shredded dill havarti cheese over one half of the tortilla.
  2. Arrange the dried pickle slices on top in a single layer, then top with the remaining cheese.
  3. Fold the tortilla in half, pressing gently to keep everything in place.
Cooking
  1. Place the folded quesadilla on the preheated griddle pan and cook for 4-5 minutes without moving it.
  2. Once the bottom is golden, flip the quesadilla carefully and cook the other side for another 4-5 minutes until browned and the cheese is melted.
Serving
  1. Transfer the cooked quesadilla to a cutting board and let it rest for a minute.
  2. Cut the quesadilla into quarters and serve immediately, optionally with smoked paprika or cracked black pepper.

Notes

For extra flavor, serve with a side of sour cream or yogurt-dill dip. Store cooled quesadillas wrapped in foil or in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
