If You Love Crispy Cheese, Try This Crispy Cheesy Ham & Salami Tortilla Pocket (Print Version)
A hot folded tortilla pocket filled with ham, salami, tomato, mustard, and melty cheese, then crisped in a skillet on a golden mozzarella crust.
# Ingredients:
For the pocket
01 -
1 large 10-inch flour tortilla
02 -
1 tablespoon mayonnaise
03 -
1 teaspoon Dijon or yellow mustard
04 -
2 slices Muenster cheese
05 -
2 thin tomato slices, patted dry
06 -
2 slices deli ham
07 -
4 thin slices salami
08 -
1 slice cheddar cheese
09 -
1/2 cup (55 g) shredded low-moisture mozzarella, divided
10 -
Black pepper, optional
# Instructions:
01 -
Lay the tortilla on a board. Spread the mayonnaise and mustard in a thin, even layer, leaving about 1/2 inch around the edge.
02 -
Place the Muenster in the center. Add the tomato slices, ham, salami, cheddar, and a little black pepper if using. Keep the filling compact.
03 -
Fold the left and right sides inward, then fold the bottom up and the top down to make a sealed rectangle. Place it seam-side down.
04 -
Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Sprinkle 1/4 cup of the mozzarella into a rectangle roughly the size of the folded tortilla.
05 -
Set the tortilla pocket seam-side down on the melting mozzarella. Cook for 2-3 minutes, until the cheese is deep golden and releases easily.
06 -
Lift the pocket out briefly. Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup mozzarella into the pan, then flip the pocket onto it. Cook 2-3 minutes more until crisp.
07 -
Transfer to a cutting board and rest for 1 minute. Slice in half and serve hot while the cheese crust is crisp.
# Notes:
01 -
Pat tomato dry before adding it so the tortilla does not steam inside.
02 -
Medium heat gives the cheese time to brown without burning.
03 -
Best served immediately after cooking.
