Snackies: I’ll have the Pizza Quesadillas. I Wanna be a Rock Star.

Hello Dears.   

I wish I had lots of time to tell you about my hectic week, but I don’t.  How about I just give you the highlights?

Interesting Reading:  My Hubby thinks he knows a thing or two about food blogs.  Actually, he claims to know very little about food, but is writing a series of articles titled How To Write the Best Damn Food Blog on the Net.  Confused?  I was at first too, but then I started reading it and it’s supremely interesting.  He might not know a lot about food blogs, but he does know an awful lot about writing.  So, if you are a food blogger, or actually any type of blogger who is interested in being better at what you do, you should consider taking a look over there.

Rock Band:  A new game that I want to play with all my friends as much as possible.  I’ve had company a lot over the last few nights.  And we are having SO much fun!  With this game you can play guitar, bass guitar, drums, and sing.  We all take turns and I totally rock at singing (NOT!).  Anyhow, it’s a lot of fun and it’s keeping me from my regularly scheduled duties.  Like posting here.  I knew you’d understand though. 

Which leads me to today’s snackies.

Rock Star Pizza Quesadillas.  You can eat these on the road.  Dude.  They’re portable.  And they wipe off the drumsticks real easy like.  I’m going to go ahead and give you the recipe now, so as I can get back to practice.  They’re already hollering for me to come play!

I’m kicking everyone out tomorrow so that I can actually do a proper post for Saturday Sides.  Until then, it’s party like a Rock Star with these ooey-gooey Italian inspired Quesadillas.  If you wanted to, you could get really fancy and add some sauteed onion and a handful of mushrooms, too.  I didn’t do that, though, mainly because it might have taken me an extra 45 seconds or something.  And I was in a hurry.  These are fast, easy, and scrumptious.  So go make some!  Go on . . . I’ll just play one more song while you whip ‘em up.

Rockstar Pizza Quesadillas

Adapted from Recipezaar

1 cup pizza sauce
2 teaspoons butter, softened
4-10 inch flour tortillas
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
4 ounces hard salami, diced
2 ounces pepperoni, diced
1/4 cup shredded parmesan cheese
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano

Start out by spreading butter over one side of each tortilla.

Cut up the salami and pepperoni into a small to medium sized dice.  The best stuff to buy is the big slices you get from the deli.  Is goooood.  But, as you can see here, I just used some leftover lunchmeat and pizza pepperoni I had in my fridge.  They work, too.

Put one tortilla, buttered side down in a large saute pan.  Sprinkle with a little less than half the mozzarella cheese.

Top with salami and pepperoni.

Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and oregano, then sprinkle another tablespoon (or so) of mozzarella cheese over the top. 

 

 By adding a small amount of mozzarella on the top it will melt and act like glue.  You’ll need this when you flip these over.  Top with remaining tortillas, buttered side up.  Cook, over medium heat, for 2-3 minutes on each side or until cheese is melted.  Flipping these can be a bit of a challenge.  I grab one side with tongs and put a large pancake turner under the other side.  Wait until it’s golden brown to turn it (you only want to flip once!).

Remove it from the pan and cut into wedges; serve with warmed pizza sauce.
