Quesadilla Salvadoreña

Quesadilla salvadoreña is a pan dulce, similar to a pound cake, made with rice flour and queso duro blanco and topped with sesame seeds, that is popular in El Salvador and eastern Guatemala.[1][2][3] Queso duro blanco can be substituted with Parmesan cheese. It is commonly served with coffee as part of breakfast or as a snack. It is traditionally baked on Sunday mornings.[4]
