Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Large flour tortillas
- 200 grams Brie cheese
- 60 grams Dried cranberries
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 50 grams Fresh arugula (optional)
Instructions
Slice the brie cheese into thin, uniform pieces, removing the rind if desired.
Lay out two tortillas on a clean working surface.
Evenly distribute the sliced brie cheese onto each tortilla, leaving a small border around the edges.
Sprinkle the dried cranberries evenly over the brie, spreading them so each bite will have a good mix of cheese and cranberries.
Drizzle 1 tablespoon of honey over the cranberries on each tortilla for a touch of sweetness.
If using arugula, lightly layer it on top of the brie and cranberries for a fresh, peppery flavor.
Place the second tortilla on top of each assembled tortilla to form two quesadillas.
Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once melted and sizzling, carefully place one quesadilla in the pan.
Cook the quesadilla for 3-4 minutes on one side until golden brown and crisp. Flip gently and cook the other side for another 3-4 minutes until the cheese is melted and the tortilla is crispy.
Remove the cooked quesadilla from the skillet and repeat with the remaining butter and second quesadilla.
Let the quesadillas cool for 1-2 minutes before slicing into wedges.
Serve immediately as is, or pair with a small arugula salad for a complete dish.
