Time 55m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 teaspoons olive oil
1 sweet onion (such as Vidalia®), thinly sliced
2 tablespoons honey
½ teaspoon dried thyme
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 (10 ounce) package flour tortillas
cooking spray
6 ounces Brie cheese, cut into 1/4-inch slices
2 ripe d'Anjou pears, sliced 1/4-inch thick

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook onion until soft and translucent, 10 to 15 minutes. Stir in honey, thyme, salt, and pepper; continue to cook until golden brown, about 10 minutes more. Add pears and cook until just softened, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
  • Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and grease with nonstick cooking spray. Place 1 tortilla in the skillet and top with 1/4 of the Brie. Add 1/4 of the onion-pear mixture and cover with a second tortilla. Weigh down quesadilla with a smaller skillet or plate and cook until lightly browned on the bottom, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip and continue cooking until browned on the other side, 2 to 3 minutes more. Transfer to a plate.
  • Repeat with remaining tortillas, Brie cheese, and onion-pear mixture. Slice quesadillas into wedges, or wrap in foil to take along for a picnic.

Best used as an appetizer, this quesadilla is simple to make and wonderfully tasty! As a variation, spread mango or a similar fruit chutney over the bottom tortilla before layering with cheese.

PEAR AND BRIE QUESADILLAS

Ripe sweet pears and creamy brie are a match made in heaven - especially when sandwiched inside a crisp, warm tortilla.

Provided by Kare for Kitchen Treaty

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 medium-sized soft tortilla
1/4 of a Bosc pear (cut into 5 - 6 slices (or try another type of pear, I'm sure it'll be equally wonderful))
A few thin slices of brie cheese
1/2 small jalapeno pepper (seeded and finely diced (optional))

Steps:

  • Lay the brie cheese and pear slices on one half of the tortilla.
  • Sprinkle with the jalapeno peppers, if using.
  • Fold the tortilla in half and cook in your panini press (my favorite method - no oil needed!) or, to cook in a frying pan, heat 1 - 2 teaspoons of vegetable or canola oil over medium heat. Lay the quesadilla in the pan and let cook for a minute or two until the cheese starts melting and the tortilla begins to brown. Flip and cook on the other side until cheese is melted and both sides are browned.
  • Remove from panini press or frying pan, cut into wedges, and garnish with salsa, fresh sliced tomatoes, avocado, fresh cilantro, and/or sour cream.
