CARAMELIZED ONION QUESADILLAS
I love caramelized onions and this is a great way to use them. It's a little different in that the onions are chopped instead of sliced into rings. The recipe comes from a community cookbook.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425°F. Heat oil in medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and jalapeño and sauté until onion is just tender, about 4 minutes; cool slightly.
- Arrange 4 tortillas on heavy large baking sheet. Arrange Brie, then cilantro, papaya and onion mixture over tortillas, dividing equally. Top each with another tortilla, pressing to adhere.
- Bake quesadillas until cheese melts and filling is heated through, about 8 minutes. Transfer quesadillas to plates; cut into wedges. Serve passing sour cream and salsa, if desired.
Tips:
- Choose ripe papaya: The papaya should be slightly soft to the touch, with no green spots. This will ensure that the salsa is sweet and flavorful.
- Use a sharp knife: When cutting the onion, papaya, and jalapeño pepper, use a sharp knife to get clean, even slices. This will help the salsa look and taste its best.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When caramelizing the onions, make sure not to overcrowd the pan. This will prevent them from cooking evenly and becoming mushy.
- Be patient: Caramelizing onions takes time. Don't rush the process, or the onions will not develop their full flavor.
- Use a good quality cheese: The blue cheese is the star of this quesadilla, so make sure to use a good quality cheese that you enjoy. A sharp blue cheese will give the quesadilla a bold flavor, while a milder blue cheese will be more subtle.
- Serve immediately: Quesadillas are best served immediately after they are made. This will ensure that the cheese is melted and gooey, and the tortilla is crispy.
Conclusion:
These blue cheese quesadillas with caramelized onions and papaya salsa are a delicious and unique appetizer or main course. The combination of sweet, savory, and spicy flavors is sure to please everyone at your table. Plus, they are relatively easy to make, so you can enjoy them any night of the week.
