Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces Fresh figs
- 4 pieces Flour tortillas
- 6 ounces Goat cheese
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
- 2 teaspoons Olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
Wash the fresh figs, remove the stems, and slice them into thin rounds.
In a small bowl, mix the goat cheese with the fresh thyme leaves, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Lay two tortillas flat on a clean surface. Spread half of the goat cheese mixture evenly over each tortilla.
Arrange the sliced figs evenly over the goat cheese layer on both tortillas. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of honey over the figs on each tortilla.
Place the remaining tortillas on top to form two quesadillas, pressing gently to seal them.
Heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once hot, place one quesadilla in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the bottom is golden brown and crispy.
Flip the quesadilla carefully using a spatula and cook the other side for another 2-3 minutes. Remove from the skillet and repeat the process with the second quesadilla, adding the additional teaspoon of olive oil if needed.
Once both quesadillas are cooked, transfer them to a cutting board and let them cool for 1-2 minutes. Cut each quesadilla into quarters.
Serve warm, optionally garnished with additional fresh thyme or a light drizzle of honey.
