# Instructions:
01 -
Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Arrange pepperoni slices in a single layer and cook until edges are crisp, approximately 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer pepperoni to a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess fat.

Wipe excess oil from the pan with a paper towel. Add 7 grams of butter. As it melts, swirl to evenly coat the surface.

Place the flour tortilla in the pan, flipping several times to coat with butter. Toast one side for 1 minute or until lightly golden.
04 -
Flip tortilla so the crisped side faces up. Evenly scatter shredded cheese over the surface. Distribute cooked pepperoni slices on top and sprinkle with Italian seasoning and garlic powder.
05 -
Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, or until underside is golden and cheese is fully melted.
06 -
Fold the tortilla over to enclose the filling. Remove from pan and let rest for 2 minutes to allow cheese to set.
07 -
Cut quesadilla into portions using a pizza cutter. Serve immediately with warm pizza sauce or marinara for dipping.
# Notes:

Enhance the filling with additions such as mushrooms, fresh basil, jalapeños, olives, bell pepper, spinach, onions, or a sprinkle of grated parmesan.
