Preparation

Step 1

In a medium bowl, combine the cream cheese, mozzarella cheese, scallions and pepper jelly if using.

Place the two tortillas on a work surface. Divide half of the cream cheese mixture over the two tortillas and spread into a thin layer. Transfer the tortillas onto a baking sheet.

Place the remaining tortillas on the work surface. Spread the remaining cream cheese mixture over the tortillas. Arrange 4 slices of ham on top of each tortilla, then top with the reserved tortillas, cream cheese down. Gently press so the sides stick together.

Heat a large non-stick pan over medium heat. When hot, coat with non-stick cooking spray and cook the quesadillas one at a time, 3-5 minutes each side. (the ham may release hot liquid so be careful when flipping them)

Cut each quesadilla into 6-8 pieces and serve hot.
