It was 3-0 before the break thanks to Ronaldo, who capped his 45-minute display by sending home a miscued effort following impressive work from Joao Mario.
Quaresma, who would also finish the night with three assists, created the fourth 10 minutes into the second half when his corner allowed Danilo Pereira to head in for his first international goal.
Estonia were unable to cause problems for a comfortable Portugal defence and their night was made even worse when Karol Mets was unable to avoid netting an own goal after Londak failed to push clear Quaresma's dangerous cross.
Quaresma was a constant threat to Estonia on the wing and his impressive display continued with an unstoppable low strike into the corner when as Estonia paid the price for their vulnerability to an incisive counter-attack from the home side.

Portugal refused to take a step back in the latter stages of the game and their reward was a seventh goal when Eder turned quickly in a congested box to fire home following a chipped pass from Andre Gomes.
Fernando Santos and his squad will now make the trip to France ahead of their Group F opener against Iceland in Marseille on Tuesday.
