Ingredients

2½–3 cups shredded mozzarella cheese (low-moisture preferred)
½ cup shredded cheddar or Parmesan (optional, for extra flavor)

Cook Mode Prevent screen from sleeping

Instructions

Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-low heat.
Sprinkle about 1¼ cups of mozzarella evenly into the skillet to form a large circle (8–10 inches). Cook for 3–4 minutes until the edges are golden and the cheese is mostly set.
Arrange pepperoni slices over one half of the cheese “tortilla.” Sprinkle with Italian seasoning and a little extra cheese if desired.
Carefully fold the other half over the toppings using a large spatula. Press gently.
Cook for another 2–3 minutes per side until deeply golden brown and crispy.
Remove to a cutting board, let rest for 1 minute, then slice into wedges.
Repeat with remaining cheese and toppings for the second quesadilla.
Serve immediately with warm sugar-free marinara sauce for dipping.

Notes & Tips

For Serving: Best enjoyed fresh. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet or air fryer to restore crispiness. Not recommended for freezing.
