In a large nonstick skillet, melt butter over medium heat; cook garlic and sliced and chopped mushrooms, shaking pan and stirring often, for 8 to 10 minutes or until mushrooms are browned and liquid is evaporated. Stir in onion, basil and parsley; cook for 1 minute. Season with salt & pepper.

Spread mushroom mixture over half of each tortilla; sprinkle with cheese. Fold other half over filling; gently press edges together.

In nonstick pan or on a greased drill over medium heat, cook quesadillas for about 2 minutes per side or until lightly browned and cheese is melted. Transfer to a cutting board; let cool slightly. ( Can be cooled completely, covered and refrigerated for up to 6 hrs; reheat in 400¼F oven for 5 minutes or microwave at high for 1 minute.)

Cut each into 4 wedges. Makes 32 appetizers.
