Ingredients
- 4 large Flour tortillas
- 4 slices Sliced deli ham
- 4 slices Sliced deli turkey
- 8 slices Swiss cheese
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1 tablespoon Powdered sugar
- 1 cup Raspberry jam
Directions
Step 1
Lay out 2 flour tortillas on a clean surface. On each tortilla, layer 2 slices of Swiss cheese, followed by 2 slices of ham and 2 slices of turkey. Top with another slice of Swiss cheese, then place the second tortilla on top to form a quesadilla.
Step 2
In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined. Set aside.
Step 3
Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter. Allow the butter to melt and coat the bottom of the pan.
Step 4
Carefully dip one quesadilla into the egg mixture, making sure to coat both sides evenly. Allow any excess egg mixture to drip off.
Step 5
Place the dipped quesadilla into the hot skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on one side, or until golden brown. Flip and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes on the other side, ensuring the cheese is melted and the tortilla is golden and crisp. Remove from the pan and repeat the process with the second quesadilla.
Step 6
Slice each quesadilla into quarters and arrange on a serving plate. Dust with powdered sugar for a touch of sweetness.
Step 7
Serve warm with raspberry jam on the side for dipping. Enjoy immediately!
