Quesadilla Ingredients

4 flour tortillas
1 apple, thinly sliced
6 oz brie cheese, thinly sliced
2 tbsp honey
2 tbsp butter

Instructions

Prepare the skillet: Heat a large skillet over medium heat, ensuring it’s hot enough to crisp the tortillas without burning.
Butter the tortillas: Spread butter evenly on one side of each flour tortilla; this will create a golden, crispy exterior when cooked.
Assemble the quesadilla: Place one tortilla butter side down in the skillet. Layer with thin slices of creamy brie cheese and apple slices for a perfect balance of flavors.
Add honey: Drizzle 1/2 tablespoon of honey over the apples and cheese to enhance the sweetness and complement the savory brie.
Top and cook: Place another tortilla on top, butter side up. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the bottom tortilla is golden brown and the cheese begins to melt.
Flip carefully: Using a spatula, flip the quesadilla and cook the other side for another 3-4 minutes until golden and the cheese is fully melted.
Repeat assembly: Repeat the assembly and cooking steps with the remaining tortillas and ingredients.
Serve: Slice each quesadilla into wedges and serve warm to enjoy the gooey, sweet-savory combination.

Notes

Use a firm apple variety like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp for a crisp texture and balanced tartness.
For a richer flavor, allow the brie to come to room temperature before slicing and assembling.
You can substitute honey with maple syrup or agave nectar as a sweetener alternative.
To make preparation easier, slice all ingredients before heating the skillet.
Serve with a side of fresh greens or a light salad for a complete meal.
