Time 25m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 teaspoon vegetable oil
1 medium zucchini, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
2 medium scallions, thinly sliced
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
⅛ teaspoon dried oregano
⅛ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
2 large eggs
1 tablespoon water
¼ cup shredded Cheddar cheese
½ teaspoon salt
4 (6 inch) flour tortillas

Steps:

  • Heat a 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add oil, then add zucchini, scallions, black pepper, oregano, and pepper flakes. Sauté until vegetables are tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 2 more minutes.
  • Meanwhile, crack eggs into a bowl. Add water and whisk until well combined. Stir in Cheddar cheese and salt.
  • Add egg mixture to the skillet and increase the heat to medium. Stir and scramble until eggs are soft-set, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove egg mixture to a plate and wipe the skillet clean with a paper towel.
  • Spread 1/4 of the egg mixture onto half of each tortilla. Fold tortillas in half.
  • Place the clean skillet over medium-high heat. Add tortillas, two at a time, to the hot skillet and cook until crisp, about 1 minute per side.

Number Of Ingredients 8

5 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 cup finely diced red onion
2 jalapeno chiles, stemmed, seeded and finely diced 1 pound zucchini or other squash blossoms, roughly chopped
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 1/2 cups grated Manchego or Monterey Jack cheese
1 cup grated Panela cheese
1 1/2 cups Anejo, Parmesan or Romano cheese
6 flour Tortillas, or large Corn Tortillas

Steps:

  • In a medium skillet over medium heat melt 3 tablespoons of butter. Cook the onions and jalapenos until soft, about 5 minutes. Stir in the zucchini blossoms, salt and pepper. Reduce the heat to low and cook, stirring frequently, until the flowers are wilted, about 5 minutes more. Set aside. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a bowl, combine 3 cheeses. Lay the tortillas out on a counter. Divide the cheese mixture into 6 portions and sprinkle one portion over half of each tortilla.
  • Divide the zucchini mixture into 6 portions and arrange evenly over the cheese. Fold over each tortilla to enclose the filling. Melt the two remaining tablespoons of butter. Place the dry griddle or cast iron skillet over medium high heat. Brush one side of a quesadilla with melted butter and place buttered side down in the pan. Cook until very light golden , about 1 minute. Brush the uncoated side with butter and flip over. Cook until the other side is golden, and transfer to a baking sheet. When all the quesadillas are browned, transfer the baking sheet to the oven and bake ten minutes, until the cheese begins to ooze. Serve hot, whole or cut into wedges.
