Quesadilla Salvadoreña is a sweet, dense cheese cake made with rice flour, milk, eggs, sugar, and queso fresco or hard Salvadoran cheese, then baked until golden and topped with sesame seeds. Unlike the Mexican quesadilla, this version is a dessert—moist, slightly salty, and subtly sweet. A breakfast and coffee-time favorite throughout El Salvador, especially in San Vicente and central regions, it’s commonly sold at bakeries, markets, and homemade during weekends or celebrations.

Common variations include versions with sour cream, butter, or additional grated cheese for a richer crumb.
