Carmelized Peach and Brie Quesadillas


I don't know about you, but I would have never thought of this amazing combination for a quesadilla. I love love love brie, and I rejoice when peaches are in season, so I knew this would be the perfect recipe for me. It made for a delightful light summer supper paired with a salad, and would also work well as an appetizer. Did I mention it's summer? Hooray!

Over medium heat, melt 1 Tbsp. butter in a large skillet. Add onion, and cook,


stirring often, until onion is carmelized, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the onions to a plate and set aside. Add the remaining butter to the skillet, let it melt, then saute the peaches and thyme


for 2-3 minutes or until slightly softened.

Place tortillas on a flat surface. Evenly distribute about 1/4 of the brie, 1/2 of the onions,


and 1/2 of the peaches


on two tortillas. Place another 1/4 of the brie on top of the peaches.


Cover with the two remaining tortillas.

Coat a large skillet or grill pan with cooking spray and heat over medium heat. Add on stack and cook until golden on one side. Flip and cook until golden on the other side.


Repeat with the remaining stack. Cut into quarters and enjoy!
