Quesadillas made in a toaster are popular right now and easy to make once you get the hang of it. The idea is to avoid modifying them excessively. They must be as flat as possible to move freely in and out of the toaster slots without becoming trapped.

| Total Time: | 10 mins |
| Servings: | 2 |
| Yield: | 2 toaster quesadillas |
Ingredients
- 2 (10 inch) flour tortillas
- 2 tablespoons prepared pesto
- 1 stick mozzarella string cheese
- 2 slices deli smoked turkey breast
Instructions
- Lay tortillas on a clean work surface. Spread 1 tablespoon of pesto over each tortilla, leaving a small space around the entire edge. Peel the cheese back in thin layers and divide between the two tortillas in a single layer. Place 1 slice of turkey over the cheese on each tortilla.
- Fold each tortilla in half, creating a half moon shape. Press down to flatten. Take the right half and fold it over to the middle. Take the left half and fold it over to the middle, creating an envelope shape. Press down to flatten again.
- Place quesadillas in the slots of the toaster. Set toaster to medium heat and toast for one cycle, about 3 minutes. Carefully remove quesadillas and flip them around. Toast for 2 minutes more.

easy to make, easier to enjoy
What a great idea! I just made one with sharp cheddar and some salsa. I was afraid that the tortilla would come apart in the toaster with cheese all over the place, but it held together beautifully. I look for award to trying many more combinations.
