Blue Cheese Quesadillas With Caramelized Onions Topped With Papaya Salsa Recipes

BLUE CHEESE QUESADILLAS

Steps:

• In medium bowl, mix all salsa ingredients. Cover and refrigerate until serving time.
• Heat oven to 375°F. Grease cookie sheet. In small bowl, mix all filling ingredients. Sprinkle over 4 tortillas; top with remaining tortillas, pressing down slightly. Place on cookie sheet.
• Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until cheese begins to melt and tortillas are slightly browned. Cut each into 8 wedges. Serve with salsa.

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.

BRIE, PAPAYA AND ONION QUESADILLAS

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.
