APPLE-GOUDA QUESADILLAS RECIPE



Apple-Gouda Quesadillas Recipe image

Provided by á-168951

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 tablespoons olive oil
3 (8-inch) flour tortillas
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 green onions, thinly sliced (1/3 cup)
1 large red apple, cored, quartered and thinly sliced crosswise (2 cups) (Applies ideal for this include McIntosh, Cortland, and Honey crisp.)
4 cups shredded Gouda cheese (16 ounces)

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat an outdoor grill to high heat (450 to 650F) and lightly oil grate. Or, to cook on stovetop, brush a skillet with oil and heat over medium heat. 2. Lightly brush some oil on 1 side of 4 tortillas and arrange oiled sides down on a work surface. Spread 1/2 tablespoon mustard on each tortilla and scatter one-fourth green onions, one-fourth apple and 1 cup cheese on each. Top with remaining tortillas and brush with oil. 3. Put quesadillas on grill or in heated skillet. Cook until undersides are crisp about 3 minutes. Carefully flip with wide metal spatula and cook until other side is crisp 2 to 3 minutes more.

Tips:

  • Choose the right apples: Use firm, tart apples that hold their shape well when cooked, such as Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Braeburn.
  • Slice the apples thinly: This will help them cook evenly and quickly.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: Cook the apples in batches if necessary to avoid steaming them.
  • Use a well-seasoned cast iron skillet or griddle: This will help prevent the quesadillas from sticking.
  • Cook the quesadillas over medium heat: This will help them cook evenly without burning.
  • Serve the quesadillas immediately: They are best enjoyed fresh out of the pan.

Conclusion:

Apple quesadillas are a delicious and easy-to-make snack or meal. They are perfect for using up leftover apples, and they can be customized to your liking.
