DESSERT QUESADILLA

Steps:

• Lay 1 tortilla half on a clean work surface with the rounded side closest to you. Brush the edges of the tortilla with egg. Place 1 tablespoon of chocolate hazelnut spread in the center of the tortilla and place a piece of fruit or marshmallow on top.

Repeat with the remaining tortilla halves and fillings.
