Ingredients

  • 500 g Macaroni and cheese cooked and creamy
  • 120 g Crispy bacon chopped
  • 4 pcs Tortillas sturdy, for assembly
  • 100 g Shredded cheese for extra melty goodness
  • 15 ml Butter or oil for frying

Instructions
 

  • Start by warming your mac and cheese filling so it's easy to spread. If you’re using bacon, make sure it’s crispy and finely chopped.
  • Have your tortillas ready, and lightly oil or butter both sides to encourage browning.
  • Spoon a nice layer of filling onto one tortilla, top with a little shredded cheese, and cover with a second tortilla to create a sandwich.
  • Heat a wide skillet over medium heat and add a thin layer of oil or butter.
  • Place your prepared quesadilla in the pan and cook until the bottom tortilla is golden and crispy, about 2–3 minutes.
  • Carefully flip it and cook the other side until it's just as crispy and the cheese inside is gooey.
  • Letting the quesadilla rest for a minute after cooking helps the cheese set a little, making it easier to slice.

Notes

Tip: To maximize crispiness, use a well-seasoned skillet and don’t overstuff the filling.
