Brie Quesadilla Recipes

APPLE BRIE QUESADILLAS

Steps:

• In a small skillet over medium heat, cook the onions, vinegar, sugar, thyme and rosemary in oil for 10 minutes or until onions are golden brown. , Spoon the mixture over half of each tortilla; top with apples and cheese. Fold over. Cook on a griddle over medium heat for 2-3 minutes on each side or until cheese is melted.

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.

APPLE AND BRIE QUESADILLAS

Steps:

• Preheat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Toss the apple slices with 2 teaspoons olive oil and cook, turning occasionally, until marked and tender, 3 to 4 minutes.
• Lay the tortillas on a cutting board. Top each with one-quarter each of the grilled apple and brie on one side, then fold the tortillas in half to cover the filling.
• Heat the remaining 2 teaspoons olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Working in batches, cook the quesadillas until golden brown and the cheese melts, about 2 minutes per side. Meanwhile, mix the mustard and maple syrup in a bowl. Slice each quesadilla into wedges. Drizzle with the maple-mustard syrup and top with the bacon.

QUESADILLAS WITH CHUTNEY AND BRIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Spread one side of each tortilla with 1 tablespoon mustard. Divide the turkey over one half of each mustard-coated side; dress with cranberry chutney (about 2 tablespoons per quesadilla). Layer each with 2 Brie slices, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Fold and press to seal edges. Brush on all sides with olive oil; transfer to two rimmed baking sheets.
• Bake, rotating the baking sheets halfway through, until cheese has melted and tortillas are golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes before slicing into wedges. Serve topped with more chutney, if desired.

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.

MANGO BRIE QUESADILLA

Steps:

• Remove Brie from freezer to let warm up. Carefully remove skin from mango and cut away from seed as much of meat as possible (remember mangos have a flat seed, so you should be able to get 2 large meaty pieces) Carefully slice mango into thin strips. By this time the Brie has begun to thaw, and should slice easily into very thin strips. (Brie, being such a soft cheese, could never otherwise be sliced, unless frozen first.) Lay a tortilla on a work surface and place 2/3 of the Brie slices on the tortilla. Add about 6 to 8 of the mango slices, and top with remaining Brie. (This will glue the quesadilla together when cooked.) Top with remaining tortilla and press together.
• Heat nonstick 10-inch saute pan and add butter on medium heat. Saute quesadilla until golden brown on both sides. Remove from heat and allow to cool 5 minutes, cut into 8 slices and top with Avocado Salsa.
• In a large bowl, mix together all salsa ingredients. Let sit at room temperature for at least 15 minutes to let the flavors mingle.

BRIE AND DRIED CRANBERRY QUESADILLAS
