Broccoli Quesadillas
"Got this from Delicious Living website. So easy and quick. Here's what the recipe says: "The next time you cook broccoli for dinner, add a little extra so you can make these the next day for lunch or an after-school snack (or even a light supper). You might need to make one at a time, depending on the size of your pan. If desired, keep finished ones warm in the oven until all are cooked." I use cheddar cheese, since I have it on hand. Cook time DOES NOT include cooking the broccoli."

Love the idea of adding veggies to a quesadilla. Made using Jalapeno Jack Cheese, even so this recipe did come up just a smidgen short. Don’t get me wrong it is good it just a little bland. Think I will add a little garlic next. Thanks for the post. -
I made this with leftover Recipe #221991. I served with recipe #292803. This is a great way to make a new meal with left overs. Thanks. -
This was so easy and so good - a winner on all accounts. I used cauliflower (purple! it looked great with the white cheese!), put the veggies and cheese on one half and then flipped the other half over. I like having the one end sealed to keep the filling from falling out. I used a mix of various Italian cheeses. I might add a little garlic to the veggies next time. -
Basic comfort food which I enjoyed. My only change if I make them again would be to add a bit more seasoning, or maybe use pepper jack cheese to add some heat. But, still, very good and super easy.

I am a Christian wife and mother of 3 kids. Since my DH's high cholesterol, we've been eating better. I never used to like cooking. Since eating better, I've liked learning and preparing new recipes. My kids haven't reconciled themselves to the new eating yet. I grind my own grain and make all my own breads.?Working 2 hours a day in the local high school lunch room.??I am homeschooling my high schooler.? ?Also found out 1 child has multiple food allergies (wheat, dairy, tomato, chocolate, etc) and another is gluten sensitive. So, we just started (July 09) eating gluten and dairy free. I've been busy with getting our house market ready, even though it's not the best time for that.?
