Quesadilla Salvadoreņa
From Luis.- Ingredients:
- 3 cups of granulated sugar

- 1 12-oz can of evaporated milk
- 2 cups of grated queso seco, queso fresco, or parmesan cheese

Preheat oven to 350 F. Line a 13 x 9 pan with parchment paper.
Combine egg yolks and 1/2 cup of evaporated milk in a large bowl and beat at medium speed with an electric mixer. Add cheese and remaining milk little by little, scraping bowl a couple of times. Add flour, baking powder, melted butter, and sugar. Mix well.
In a separate bowl, beat egg whites until stiff peaks form. Fold egg whites into batter. Pour mixture into baking pan. Top with sesame seeds.
