Ingredients
  

4 small flour or whole wheat tortillas

1 cup fresh mozzarella cheese, shredded

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

½ cup fresh basil leaves, chopped

2 tablespoons balsamic glaze (plus extra for drizzling)

1 tablespoon olive oil

Salt and pepper, to taste

Optional: crushed red pepper flakes for a spicy kick

Instructions
 

Preheat the Pan: Begin by heating a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Pour in 1 tablespoon of olive oil and allow it to warm for a minute, ensuring it's hot but not smoking.

    Prepare the Quesadilla Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella cheese, halved cherry tomatoes, and chopped basil leaves. Drizzle the balsamic glaze over the mixture and season with a pinch of salt and freshly cracked pepper. If you like a bit of heat, add crushed red pepper flakes to taste. Gently fold the ingredients together until evenly combined.

      Assemble the Quesadillas: Place one tortilla in the preheated skillet. Using a spoon, evenly spread about a quarter of the cheese and tomato mixture over one half of the tortilla. Carefully fold the tortilla in half, encasing the filling.

        Cook the Quesadilla: Allow the quesadilla to cook for 2-3 minutes on one side, or until it turns a lovely golden brown and you see the cheese beginning to melt. Use a spatula to flip it over gently and cook the other side for an additional 2-3 minutes, until crispy and golden.

          Slice and Keep Warm: Once cooked, remove the quesadilla from the skillet and let it cool for a minute. Use a sharp knife or pizza cutter to slice it into wedges. Repeat the assembly and cooking process with the remaining tortillas and filling, adding more olive oil to the skillet as required to prevent sticking.

            Serve: Arrange the warm quesadilla wedges attractively on a serving platter. Drizzle with additional balsamic glaze for a burst of flavor and garnish with extra basil leaves for a fresh touch. Serve immediately as a delightful appetizer or snack!
