Cheesy Broccoli Quesadillas
Cheesy Quesadillas with the healthy broccoli sneaked inside.. one of the best treat for kids who don't like to eat Broccoli.
Ingredients
- 4 Pieces Tortilla/Chapatis
- 1/2 Cup Finely Chopped/ Grated Broccoli
- 1/4 Cup Fresh Paneer/Indian Cottage Cheese
- 1/2 Cup Grated Cheddar Cheese
- 1/4 tsp Chilly Flakes optional
- 1 clove Garlic optional
- 1/4 Cup Chopped Onions
- 1 tsp Olive Oil or any flavorless oil
- 1/4 tsp Black Pepper
- Pizza sauce or Tomato Ketchup as required
- Butter to spread on the tortillas
Instructions
- Finely chop or grate broccoli.
- Heat oil in a pan, add onions, coarsely crushed garlic and saute for 2-3 minutes until broccoli is soft. Add salt to taste.
- Take out the broccoli and onion mix in a bowl. Let it cool a little. Add crumbled paneer to it, black pepper and chili flakes to it and mix well.
- Take two tortillas, on one side spread little butter, flip it and put spread some pizza sauce or tomato ketchup. Spread the cheese and broccoli paneer mix.
- Cover with the other tortilla. You can spread sauce on the tortilla or cover it just like that. Spread butter on the upper side.
- Make quesadilla in the quesadilla maker or on a grill pan or use your regular griddle to make it.
- Cook on from both the side till the cheese melts and the quesadilla are crunchy from both the sides.
- Cut into four triangles using a pizza cutter and serve with tomato ketchup or sour cream or the dip of your choice.
Notes
you can use homemade paneer or store bought paneer/Indian Cottage Cheese. OR add any other cheese of your choice. You can also skip adding Paneer to it. Shredded chicken pieces can be added if you prefer eating non-veg.
Many times I add mushroom also along with broccoli, add that if you want.
Don't put too much butter or oil while cooking quesadillas. These can lose the crunch and become soggy.
