This intriguing appetizer is savory-sweet. The lime-honey dipping sauce balances the richness of the buttery filling.
RECIPE INGREDIENTS
For the Lime-Honey Dipping Sauce:
2 tablespoons honey
2 teaspoons fresh lime juice
1/2 teaspoon grated lime rind
For the Quesadillas:
1 cup firm ripe peaches, peeled and thinly sliced (about 2 large)
1 tablespoon fresh chives, chopped
1 teaspoon brown sugar
3 ounces Brie cheese, thinly sliced
4 (8 inch) fat-free flour tortillas
Cooking spray
Chive strips (optional)
RECIPE METHOD
FOR THE LIME-HONEY DIPPING SAUCE:
Combine first 3 ingredients, stirring with a whisk; set aside.
FOR THE QUESADILLAS:
Combine peaches, 1 tablespoon chives, and sugar, tossing gently to coat. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Arrange one-fourth of cheese and one-fourth of peach mixture over half of each tortilla; fold tortillas in half.
Coat pan with cooking spray. Place 2 quesadillas in pan; cook 2 minutes on each side or until tortillas are lightly browned and crisp. Remove from pan; keep warm.
Repeat procedure with remaining quesadillas. Cut each quesadilla into 3 wedges; serve with sauce. Garnish with chive strips, if desired.
TIPS:
Ripe--but firm--peaches work best; if they're too soft, they'll make the tortillas soggy.
Placing the fillings on one side of the tortilla and folding the other half over (like a taco) makes the quesadillas easier to handle.
Whole wheat tortillas would also be great, offering a sweet, nutty taste.
