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.

Tips:

  • For a crispy quesadilla, use a skillet or griddle that is well-seasoned and hot.
  • Grate the cheese finely so that it melts evenly.
  • Use ripe pears that are slightly firm, not mushy.
  • Add a sprinkle of chopped fresh herbs, such as thyme or rosemary, for extra flavor.
  • Serve the quesadillas with your favorite dipping sauce, such as salsa, guacamole, or sour cream.

Conclusion:

Pear and brie quesadillas are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. They are perfect for a party or potluck, or for a quick and easy weeknight meal. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a dish that is both flavorful and impressive.
