I tried this and was stunned at how perfect it came out, instead of using white tortilla i used wheat and a sundried tomato tortilla it was perfect w/ tomato soup
Fantastic!

I made these last night, but substituted fresh basil for the parsley. These are delicious! Everybody loved them. I made them in the George Foreman grill instead of frying them.
Yummm!

Light, easy, fresh and favorful. I did my little twists on the recipe cause I was short on ingredients: used basil instead of parsley and Gouda instead of Fontina. The basil worked beautifully!
Easy, delicious, impressive

These are easy and delicious. Served them 3 times in one weekend. A BIG hit every time. Great to prepare ahead and grill when ready. Lunch with a salad was light and good then appetizers at an impromptu get together were eaten before I could get them all cooked.
Excellente!

These were very easy to make and delicious. I would suggest making ahead of time since the cooking part is the least time consuming portion of the recipe, plus cleanup is done except for the griddle. I served w/sour cream and next time will also use pesto for an interesting twist.
These are amazing

I added some chopped grilled chicken (added some italian seasoning when i was sauteeing it) and basil, nixed the parsley. Absolutely perfect in whole wheat tortillas.
Loved them!

Fantastic recipe! Tweaked it a little by sauteeing the onions in Giada's Chile Oil from her spicy chicken recipe. Also, added sauteed mushrooms - made it more hearty - an entree instead of an appetizer. Will definitely add this to our regulars.
Awesome!

This is DELICIOUS and so easy to make. The sauteed onions and the melted fontina really make this dish! I put it together with the green bean and tuna salad for a lighter dinner, both were to die for!

I made these for a dinner party! Everyone was impressed! These were so good plus they were very easy to make! The combination of the Fontina Cheese, red peppers were great. These will be made again in our home. I did, however, did not add the sugar - sounded odd. Hubby was a big help too! He grated the cheese for me :)

Good & average recipe! I was going to give suggestions/pointers. Then, I decided not to. But, I have got to say this. Ok, many of you might not know how to cook OR just need a little more experience under your belt, but what's keeping you from being creative? Use your imagination. Create. Experiment with different foods. By gosh, I lived in the States most of my life, & when I first tried quesadillas, I was already brainstorming how to make them better and how to make it 'mine'. And, then I leaned it toward my own culture/ethnic background. I'm sorry; I'm not trying to anger or upset anyone, but I'm shocked ... doesn't anybody cook anymore? Doesn't anybody think, create, imagine? A recipe is like an 'antipasto' - it should stimulate the senses; stimulate the appetite -- stimulate the imagination!

I thought the receipt was pretty easy and you can reduce the time it takes to cook by using a George forman grill since it cooks both sided at the same time. I though there might not be enough items in the quesadiallas so I added Purdues Italian season chicken, which you can find at the grocery store. It added a little more to the meal to make everyone fuller. But over all, I thought the receipe was awesome, something I would make at least once or a month. Very tasty!!

This is the kind of recipe where you can vary the recipe and it still tastes great. The two critical ingredients that make this so good are the carmelized onions and fontina cheese. I substituted basil which gave it a really nice flavor - absolutely delicious recipe!

The carmelized onions, roasted peppers, and fontina worked really well together. I didn't care for the parsley and will probably substitute basil next time. This was really delicious and a nice change from regular quesadillas.

I hate to be negative, as I am a big fan of Giada. This was very easy to make, and the filling ingredients were a wonderful combination. We don't usually eat floured tortillas, and maybe that was why we did not like them. Since I can't eat carbs, if I do splurge it will not be with a tortilla - pasta or rice is a tastier way to splurge.

Two full onions are a bit much for this. 1.5 large would have done just fine. I added chicken and it tasted great. Not the prettiest dinner on the plate but we liked eating it.

This was amazing. It could've passed for restaurant food without a second guess. I'm so not domestic it's almost sad, but this gives me hope for myself and my future in the kitchen. I added ground beef because I cooked it for dinner and it made it more filling. Unbelievably awesome dish. I'd give more stars if I could.
Sounds like a good idea

To the evaluator who signs him/herself as 'anonymous' with subject line "good and average", pleeeeese! This is not a forum for lecturing us on what you see as OUR shortcomings. This is to share constructive suggestions to improve upon a RECIPE'S shortcomings if improvement can be made--not to browbeat people into feeling they are not authentic 'cooks' b/c they did not think of this recipe themselves! Seems odd this person wouldn't feel as strongly about this as to sign their name! Why hide behind 'anonymous?' I have multiple packages of flour tortillas in my freezer that were for my son's visit that were not used. I do not normally buy tortillas for myself. Simply by reading this recipe, it nudged me into remembering I had these to use. What is so terrible about that? A "real" cook cannot fall prey to momentary lapses for some unethical reason? I appreciate any gentle prodding I can get if it helps me use things I have on hand and may have forgotten about! It must be a great feeling to be as perfect a "cook" as 'anonymous' is.
Amazingly Delicious!

I made this recipe for my boyfriend wasn't sure how he would like it being no meat so I added some pan fried Pancetta for a bit of meat and saltyness. It turned out great! It is a lot more filling than you would think! I have been craving this dish since and will be a definate repeat in this house. Also easy to make and you can prepare it early and then pop it in the oven or grill top!

These quesadillas were seriously SO delicious! They were very easy to make, and very easy to make kid-friendly (no red peppers for my 3-year-old). After one bite I knew this would be a regular meal at our house. I would DEFINITELY recommend them, there were no complaints and only good things to say about them. The recipe makes a lot of them, so we have plenty of leftovers. Next time I'm cutting the recipe down so there aren't quite so many!
