Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Cooked lobster meat (chopped)
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves (thinly sliced)
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 4 pieces Large flour tortillas
- 6 ounces Brie cheese (rind removed, sliced)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
1. Prepare the garlic: Heat a small skillet over medium heat and melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Add the thinly sliced garlic and sauté until golden brown and aromatic, about 1-2 minutes. Remove the garlic slices with a slotted spoon and set aside on a paper towel to drain.
2. Warm the lobster: Add the chopped lobster meat to the same skillet with the garlic butter. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until warmed through. Remove from the heat and season with salt and black pepper. Set aside.
3. Assemble the quesadillas: Place a flour tortilla on a clean, flat surface. Add an even layer of sliced Brie cheese over half of the tortilla. Top the Brie with sautéed lobster, toasted garlic slices, and a sprinkle of fresh parsley. Fold the tortilla in half to create a semicircle. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and fillings.
4. Cook the quesadillas: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Place one quesadilla in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the tortilla is golden brown and crispy and the Brie cheese has melted. Repeat with the remaining quesadillas, adding more olive oil as needed.
5. Slice and serve: Remove the quesadillas from the skillet and let them cool for 1 minute. Use a sharp knife or pizza cutter to slice each quesadilla into wedges. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce or alongside a crisp salad.
