This recipe is part of our Good Square Meal campaign in collaboration with FareShare, the UK’s biggest food waste charity, to fund the distribution of up to 250,000 meals to children who need them most.

As part of the campaign, we’ve collaborated with baby weaning expert Shikha Gill, founder of My Little Food Critic, to create recipes based on Britain’s favourite regional delicacies.

Crispy on the outside and so creamy inside, these quesadillas are made with cheddar from Somerset, one of the nation’s favourite regional foods. Adding some hemp hearts and avocado makes them perfect for weaning babies, and they are ready in 10 minutes making them ideal for a quick lunch!
