What's Cooking? Sweet Cheese Bread (Salvadoran dessert) Called “Salvadoran Quesadilla” in its country of origin, this delectable dessert is not to be confused with the Mexican quesadilla, which is made from a tortilla with melted cheese, among other ingredients. This dessert is a favorite of the Salvadorans, especially served with hot coffee. There are many variations to the Salvadoran quesadilla; for example, you can create your own recipe, substituting rice flour with soy, corn or sorghum flour. The milk can be substituted with buttermilk. Contributed by Nadia Navarrete-Tindall Ingredients ½ cup rice flour and ½ cup wheat flour, or 1 cup wheat flour 1 cup sugar 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese (to replace dry Salvadoran-style cheese) 3 eggs 4 ounces melted butter or margarine 1/3 cup lukewarm milk 1 teaspoon of baking powder sesame seeds Preparation In a mixing bowl, mix the dry ingredients; add the melted butter or margarine a little at a time and then the eggs one by one, alternating with the milk until it forms a soft paste. Put the mixture in a greased baking dish and sprinkle the sesame seeds over the mixture. Bake at 350 F for 20 to 30 minutes or until golden. The quesadilla is served hot, alone or with ice cream and coffee liquor. It is delicious! (At least for this Salvadoran.) Preparation time: 15 minutes
