Brie Apple And Arugula Quesadilla Recipes

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.

Steps:

• Heat a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add 2 tablespoons olive oil to the pan along with the shallots and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring often, until soft and fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add the apples and stir to coat in the oil. Add the lemon zest, juice and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt. Stir well to coat the apples in all the flavors. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the apples begin to brown and are cooked through, about 8 minutes. Stir in the basil and set aside to cool slightly.
• Meanwhile, lay the ciabatta halves out so they are open-faced. Scoop out some of the inside of the bread and discard. Divide the Brie evenly among the halves, about 3 slices per half, tearing them as needed to cover the bread. Divide the apple mixture on the bottom halves of each sandwich (approximately 1/4 cup per sandwich). Place the tops on the sandwiches and press slightly to close.
• Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil to the skillet along with 2 sandwiches. Place a lid smaller than the skillet on top of the sandwiches and press down gently. Cook until golden brown on the first side, about 3 minutes. Flip the sandwiches and repeat on the second side until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted. Repeat with the remaining oil and sandwiches. (Alternatively, you can use a panini press.) Serve warm.

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.

Steps:

• Melt 3/4 teaspoon butter in a large skillet over medium heat, tilting the skillet to evenly spread butter. Place 1 tortilla in the melted butter. Cover tortilla with Brie cheese slices and apple slices; sprinkle with brown sugar and cinnamon. Place the remaining tortilla over the filling.
• Cook quesadilla until bottom tortilla is browned, 3 to 5 minutes. Spread the remaining 3/4 teaspoon butter on top tortilla; carefully flip quesadilla and cook until bottom tortilla is browned and cheese is melted, 3 to 5 more minutes. Slice quesadilla into quarters.
