Ingredients
  

4 large flour tortillas

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese

1 cup sliced pepperoni

1 cup thinly sliced salami

1/2 cup black olives, pitted and sliced

1/2 cup roasted red peppers, chopped into small pieces

1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, finely chopped

1/4 cup honey or fig jam (for drizzling)

Olive oil or butter (for cooking)

Fresh herbs for garnish (optional, such as thyme or rosemary)

Instructions
 

Prep the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheeses with the sliced pepperoni, salami, black olives, roasted red peppers, and chopped basil leaves. Stir the mixture thoroughly to ensure that all the ingredients are evenly distributed.

    Assemble the Quesadillas: Place a flour tortilla flat on a clean surface. On one half of the tortilla, spread a generous portion (about 1/4 of the mixture) of the cheese and charcuterie filling. Fold the tortilla in half over the filling, pressing down gently to secure the two sides together. Repeat this process for the remaining tortillas and filling until you have formed all quesadillas.

      Cook the Quesadillas: Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add a small amount of olive oil or butter. Once the skillet is hot, carefully place one folded quesadilla into the skillet. Cook for approximately 3-4 minutes per side, or until the quesadilla is golden brown and the cheese has fully melted. If necessary, add more oil or butter to the skillet before cooking additional quesadillas.

        Slice and Serve: After cooking, transfer the quesadilla to a cutting board and allow it to cool for a minute. Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, slice the quesadilla into wedges. Drizzle with honey or fig jam for a touch of sweetness and garnish with fresh herbs if desired.

          Enjoy: Serve the quesadillas warm, along with additional olives, sliced vegetables, or a side of salsa for dipping.
