Ingredients:

  • 4 large (8 inch) flour tortillas
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 tbsp neutral oil
  • 2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese

Instructions:

  1. Grate the Monterey Jack cheese using the large holes of a box grater.
  2. Heat 1/2 tbsp unsalted butter and 3/4 tsp neutral oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-low heat until the butter foams and subsides.
  3. Place one flour tortilla in the pan.
  4. Immediately sprinkle a generous layer of shredded cheese over the entire surface, leaving a tiny margin at the edges to prevent overflow.
  5. Once the cheese begins to glisten, fold the tortilla in half.
  6. Press down firmly with a spatula to ensure the cheese bonds the two sides.
  7. Cook for 1-2 minutes per side until the exterior is a deep golden-brown and the cheese is fully molten.
  8. Repeat the process for the remaining tortillas.
  9. Use a pizza cutter to slice each finished quesadilla into 3 wedges.
