About Bread, salvadoran sweet cheese (quesadilla salvadorena)

Despite the name, quesadilla salvadoreña isn't a folded tortilla at all — it's a sweet cheese bread from El Salvador, somewhere between a cake and a loaf. Made with cheese, butter, eggs, sugar and often rice flour, it's a traditional companion to a morning coffee, with a tender crumb, a golden top and a scatter of sesame seeds.

The combination of cheese, butter, eggs and sugar makes it a rich, indulgent bake: relatively high in calories, fat and sugar, with some protein and calcium contributed by the cheese. It sits firmly in the treat category rather than among everyday breads.

Its charm is in the contrast — savory, slightly salty cheese running through a sweet, buttery crumb — a small slice of Salvadoran home baking.
