BRIE, APPLE, and ARUGULA QUESADILLAS

I made these last night.  Very delicious!!  Recipe to follow, from October Cooking Light magazine.  

BRIE, APPLE and ARUGULA QUESADILLAS

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

2 teaspoons apple cider

3 (10 inch) flour tortillas (white or whole wheat)

6 ounces Brie cheese, rind removed and cut into 1/4 inch thick slices

1 fuji apple, cored, peeled and cut into 1/4 inch thick slices

3 cups arugula

3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Combine mustard and cider in a small bowl; stir well.

 

Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat.  Spread each tortilla with about 1 1/2 teaspoon of the mustard mixture.  Place one tortilla mustard side up, in pan.  Arrange one-third of cheese slices over half of tortilla; cook 1 minute or until cheese begins to melt.  Arrange one third of apple slices over cheese; top with 1 cup of arugula.  Sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon pepper.

 

Fold tortilla in half, press gently with a spatula.  

 

Cook 2 minutes on each side or until golden brown.  Repeat process with remaining two tortillas. Cut each finished quesadilla into 3 triangles.  

Enjoy!!!

I understand there were problems on the site last night.  Thank you for letting me know!  I apologize, Karen and I are so frustrated, but we are trying to get it worked out.  I don't think I know anyone that has had more site problems than us--so sorry!

[Style Odyssey]

seems delicious! my kind of eating...light, relatively simple, & fresh ingredients...but w/ something decadent added, like brie- a cheese i have a slight addiction to.

i used to make a similar recipe, only w/ mango or pear. never thought to add arugula (yum). i must try this one! i suppose you could do endless variations.

sure hope your website problems are sorted soon. what a pain, i'm sure!

Dear Judes,

I am enjoying all your cooking posts and am glad to see your used gruyere in your macaroni-gruyere is the key to a decent bechamel I think. I hope you do some gardening posts soon. Cheerio, x

[Lindsay]

Those look amazing! I can't wait to make them the next time people come over!

[cashmere scarf girl]

Will try the recipe. I'm now living alone with no Mom to cook for me. And no ready-to-grab food in the ref. I'm miserable. With only pizza to eat every time. So I've got to try this recipe. Wish me luck guys. :)

Hi Judy,
LOVE your and Jane's blogs. Hubby and I have been fans of Cooking Light for awhile but it was only after we saw your photos that we decided we had to try the brie-apple-and-arugula quesadillas right away. SO SO SO delicious. Thanks for sharing the photos of your kitchen (and other creative) adventures!

I make a very similar quesadilla--the arugula is a must. My variation just includes sauteed onions and mushrooms. Yours looks great!

BTW, I've been a fan of your blog (and your daughter's) for a long time and being a food blogger, I've been enjoying your food posts a lot! Thanks. :-)

[masha]

wow you really know how to cook and you're good on it I thought at your pretty pictures! I'm so bad at this stuff! I prefer restaurants or my mom's kitchen! )))
