Ready in just 20 minutes, this easy one-serving lunch or dinner recipe puts a new twist on a classic sandwich. This traditional French toasted ham and cheese is typically dunked in an egg mixture, French-toast style, and cooked in a skillet until crisp. In this quesadilla version, the seasoned egg mixture is brushed on the quesadillas, and then browned on the stovetop. Asiago cheese adds an assertive nutty flavour, while the Ranch dressing adds creaminess. Swap in Swiss cheese for the Ranch and asiago cheese for a more traditional take if you like. You can serve this with some additional Ranch dressing on the side for dipping.
