A delightful twist on a classic quesadilla, featuring caramelized onions and smoked cheese for a rich and savory flavor.
Heat the butter in a skillet over medium heat until melted.
Use a heavy-bottomed skillet to ensure even heat distribution.
Add the onions, sugar, and vinegar to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are golden and caramelized, about 25 minutes.
Stir frequently to prevent the onions from burning.
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
Ensure the oven is fully preheated for even cooking.
Place the tortillas on a flat surface. Sprinkle half of each tortilla with the smoked cheese, caramelized onions, and prosciutto. Fold the tortillas in half to enclose the filling.
Press the tortillas gently to keep the filling in place.
Heat a skillet over medium heat and brush with melted butter. Cook each quesadilla until golden brown on both sides, about 2 minutes per side.
Cook in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the skillet.
Transfer the quesadillas to a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven until the cheese is melted, about 5 minutes.
This step ensures the cheese is fully melted and the quesadillas are heated through.
Cut each quesadilla into wedges and serve immediately.
Serve with your favorite dips like guacamole or salsa for added flavor.
