Cooking instructions
Instructions for 2 [for 3] [for 4] portion recipe.
Preheat the oven to 220°C/ 200°C (fan)/ gas 7
Peel and finely chop (or grate) your garlic
Combine the chopped garlic with your tomato paste, dried oregano and 3 tbsp [4 1/2 tbsp] [6 tbsp] cold water in a small bowl
Add a generous pinch of salt, pepper and sugar and stir it all together – this is your pizza sauce
Grate your cheddar cheese
Roughly chop your basil, including the stalks
Divide the pizza sauce between your tortillas (make sure to only cover one half of the tortilla with the sauce!)
Top the sauce evenly with the grated cheddar, chopped basil, pepperoni slices and grated Italian hard cheese
Fold each tortilla over so you're left with 3 half moon-shaped sandwiches per person– these are your loaded quesadillas
Add the loaded quesadillas to a baking paper-lined baking tray (or two!)
Place a second baking tray on top to weigh them down slightly
Put the stacked baking trays in the oven and cook for 12 min, or until the quesadillas are slightly browned and the cheese has melted
Meanwhile, wash your lettuce, then pat it dry with kitchen paper and shred
Chop your tomato[es] finely
Combine your mayo with your white wine vinegar, 1 tbsp [1 1/2 tbsp] [2 tbsp] olive oil and a small pinch of salt – this is your creamy dressing
Once the quesadillas are slightly browned, remove the stacked trays from the oven and leave them to cool for 1 min
Tip: This makes it easier to transfer the quesadillas to a board without losing any filling!
Chop the quesadillas in half – these are your crispy pepperoni pizza quesadillas
Serve the crispy pepperoni pizza quesadillas with the shredded lettuce and chopped tomato to the side
Drizzle the creamy dressing all over the salad
Season with a grind of black pepper
Enjoy!
