Ingredients for Apple Brie Quesadillas

  • 1/2 cup chopped yellow onion
  • Balsamic Vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • Dried Thyme
  • Dried Rosemary
  • Vegetable Oil
  • Flour Tortillas
  • Tart Apples
  • Brie Cheese

How to Make Apple Brie Quesadillas

  1. In a medium skillet over medium heat, sauté 1/2 cup chopped yellow onion in 1 tablespoon olive oil until softened, about 5 minutes. Add 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar, 1 teaspoon sugar, 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves, and 1/2 teaspoon fresh rosemary. Continue cooking for another 5 minutes, or until onions are caramelized and golden brown.
  2. Lay out 2 large flour tortillas. Evenly distribute the onion mixture over one half of each tortilla.
  3. Top the onion mixture with 1/2 cup thinly sliced apples (such as Honeycrisp or Fuji) and 4 ounces of brie cheese, cut into small pieces.
  4. Fold the tortillas in half, pressing gently to seal the edges.
  5. Heat a lightly oiled griddle or large skillet over medium heat. Cook the quesadillas for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the tortillas are golden brown and the cheese is melted and gooey.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
