Best 9 Pear Brie Jalapeno Quesadilla Appetizers Recipes

PEAR AND BRIE QUESADILLAS

Steps:

• Place slices of Brie cheese over a tortilla. Layer the cheese with pear slices. Sprinkle with nutmeg and salt as desired. Top with the second tortilla.
• Spray a skillet with cooking spray. Place the quesadilla in the skillet over medium heat, and cook until golden brown and Brie melts, about 3 minutes on each side. Cut into four or eight triangles, and serve immediately.

PEAR AND BRIE QUESADILLAS

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.

CHICKEN JALAPENO POPPER QUESADILLA

Steps:

• Place a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the bacon and cook, turning as needed, until crisp, about 8 minutes. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate, reserving a couple of tablespoons of bacon fat.
• While the bacon is frying, mix together the pepper jack, cream cheese, cayenne pepper and cumin in a bowl. Spread onto one of the tortillas and set aside.
• Wipe out the skillet and return it to the heat. Heat the butter and reserved bacon fat until the butter is melted, then place the prepared tortilla in the skillet, cheese-side up. Top with the chicken and jalapenos. Crumble over the bacon and top with the second tortilla. Cook until golden on both sides, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a cutting board, slice and sprinkle over the cilantro before serving.

BRIE CHEESE APPETIZER (FRANCE)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F & lightly grease a cookie sheet.

• Spread apricot (or peach) preserves on the cut side of one Brie wheel, then make a sandwich out of the two halves, with the preserves in the middle.
• Wrap the entire wheel of Brie with one sheet of puffed pastry & fturn it seam side down onto the prepared cookie sheet.
• Brush the puffed pastry with the egg white.
• Bake for 30 minutes or until pastry is golden brown, then serve immediately.

PEAR & BRIE QUESADILLA

Steps:

• Heat long griddle until hot. I like mine around 300 -325* Butter both tortillas on one side each. Place both tortillas, butter side down on the griddle. Working quickly, on one tortilla lay out your slices of brie. Place pears on top of Brie. Sprinkle a pinch of nutmeg on top of pears. When quesadillas are a nice golden color, take the empty single tortilla, flip it over and lay it on top of your pear slices. Remove from heat and allow to cool for 1 - 2 minutes. Slice quesadilla and serve immediately.

PEAR, FIG, BRIE QUESADILLA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Place two tortillas down on a baking sheet next to each other. On each tortilla spread 2 tablespoons of the fig preserves.
• Place 1/2 the pear in a pinwheel fashion on each tortilla. Top each 1/2 with the brie cheese in small chunks. Cover with remaining wrap.
• Bake at 350°F for 10 minutes.

PEAR, CARAMELIZED ONION, AND BRIE QUESADILLAS

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.
