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.

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.

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.
