Ingredients

  • 2ounces smoked mozzarella, shredded
  • 1large flour tortilla
  • 3ounces mixed mushrooms, such as cremini
  • and shiitake, sautéed or roasted
  • 2ounces goat cheese, crumbled
  • 1handful arugula leaves
  • melted butter or olive oil for brushing
  • sour cream for serving

Preparation

  1. Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese over half of the
  2. tortilla, leaving at least a ½-inch border along the
  3. edge. Evenly top with mushrooms and crumbled
  4. goat cheese. Cover with arugula leaves. Fold the
  5. other half of the tortilla over the filling.
  6. Preheat the Cuisinart® Sandwich Maker. Lightly
  7. brush plates with melted butter or oil. Carefully
  8. place the assembled quesadilla onto the

  10. lined up with the backside of the bottom plate.
  11. Use firm pressure to close lid; lock and cook.
  12. Green indicator light will go off and red light will
  13. come on (this may not happen immediately).
  14. When green indicator light reappears, quesadilla
  15. is cooked. Add 15 to 30 seconds additional
  16. cooking time if a toastier quesadilla is preferred.
  17. Remove with a heatproof silicone spatula. Allow
  18. quesadilla to cool slightly for 2 to 3 minutes
  19. before serving, as filling will be very hot. Serve
  20. with sour cream, if desired.
