Best 6 Brie And Walnut Quesadillas With Tropical Fruit Salsa Recipes

PEAR, CARAMELIZED ONION, AND BRIE QUESADILLAS

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.

WALNUT AND BRIE TARTLETS WITH GRAPE SALSA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees. Put the grapes and kosher salt in a food processor and pulse until the grapes are coarsely chopped. Transfer to a strainer; let sit for a least 10 minutes. Mix the green onion, vinegar, oil, rosemary, garlic and pepper together in a small bowl. Add the grapes and mix well. ASSEMBLY: Arrange the shells on a baking sheet and fill each with 1/2 teaspoon walnuts, 1/2 teaspoon Brie, and 1/2 teaspoon grape salsa (use a fork to transfer the salsa to the shells to avoid capturing too much liquid). Bake until cheese begins to melt, about 5 minutes; do not overbake.

LOBSTER QUESADILLA WITH TROPICAL FRUIT SALSA

Steps:

• In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add 1 1/2 cups red peppers, the green peppers, onion, cumin, and cayenne pepper. Cook until the vegetables are tender, but still firm, about 7 to 8 minutes. Remove from the heat and cool.
• In a medium bowl, mix the lobster meat, cheese, jalapenos, salt, and cooled pepper mixture. Divide the mixture into 6 portions. Sandwich each portion between 2 tortillas, spreading the lobster mixture evenly.
• Heat a grill or large skillet over medium heat and film the bottom with some of the butter. Place as many quesadillas as will fit without touching, and cook each side until the tortillas are golden brown and the cheese has melted, about 5 minutes. Repeat with remaining butter and quesadillas.
• Cut quesadillas into wedges. Place the quesadillas on plates and garnish with remaining red pepper, the green onion, sour cream, and a pineapple top. Serve immediately with Tropical Fruit Salsa.
• In a medium bowl, combine all ingredients and mix well. Refrigerate for 45 minutes to 1 hour before serving.
