Chevre And Pear Quesadillas Recipes

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.

Steps:

• Cut pears in half and remove cores. Cut into 1/3 inch thick slices. Toss slices with olive oil and a little salt and pepper. Grill or saute for 1 minute on each side.
• Chop pears into 1/2 " dice. Combine pear, cheeses and green onion in a bowl. Mix well.
• Divide mixture into 6 portions and spread one portion onto half of each tortilla. Fold tortilla in half.
• Heat a non-stick or cast iron pan over medium heat. Cook each tortilla for about 1 minute per side or until cheese melts.
• Cut each tortilla into 4 pieces.
