Preparation
  1. In a medium saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat until bubbly. Whisk in 2 tablespoons of flour and cook for 1-2 minutes until lightly golden. Gradually pour in 1 cup of milk while whisking constantly.
  2. Add the chicken bouillon cube, 1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard, and hot sauce if desired. Stir for about 5 minutes until the sauce thickens. Mix in 1/4 cup of grated Parmesan cheese and keep warm.
Assembling the Quesadilla
  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of melted butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Place a flour tortilla in the skillet.
  2. On half the tortilla, layer 1/2 cup of cheese, 2 ounces of ham, 1/2 cup of grilled chicken, and drizzle with the creamy sauce. Sprinkle with toasted breadcrumbs.
  3. Add another layer of cheese and fold the tortilla in half.
Cooking
  1. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the bottom is golden brown, then flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes. Ensure the cheese melts and tortillas are crispy.
Serving
  1. Remove quesadilla from the skillet and let cool slightly before cutting into wedges. Serve warm with the remaining creamy sauce.
