1

Top 3 tortillas equally with pepperoni, tomatoes and cheese. Top with remaining tortillas.
2

In 12-inch nonstick skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of the butter over medium heat; rotate skillet so butter coats bottom of skillet. Cook 1 quesadilla in butter 6 to 8 minutes, turning once, until lightly browned. Remove from skillet; place on cutting board.
3

Repeat with remaining butter and quesadillas. Cut each quesadilla into 16 square pieces. Serve with warmed pizza sauce.

As you’re cooking the quesadillas, watch the butter carefully so that it doesn’t burn.
Customize these bite-size appetizers with your favorite pizza toppings.
To Broil: Set oven control to broil. In small microwavable bowl, microwave butter uncovered on High 30 to 50 seconds or until melted. Brush 1 side of each tortilla with melted butter. Assemble quesadillas as directed with buttered sides of tortillas on the outside. Place on ungreased cookie sheets. Broil with tops 4 to 6 inches from heat 1 to 2 minutes or until lightly browned. Turn quesadillas; broil 1 to 2 minutes longer, watching closely to prevent burning, until cheese is melted.
