Apple and Brie Quesadillas
Instructions:
- 2 Granny Smith apples
- 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- About 1â„4 cup olive oil
- 8 cups arugula
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 8oz (225g) just-ripe Brie cheese
- 8 soft whole wheat tortillas
- Peel, core, and thinly slice the apples. Toss the apple slices with the lemon juice and 2 tbsp water to prevent browning.
- Heat 1 tbsp of the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add a few handfuls of arugula, sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper, and move around with tongs for a few seconds until the arugula is just wilted. Transfer to a bowl. Add a little more oil to the pan and continue to wilt the remaining arugula in the same way. Set aside.
- Drain the apple slices and pat dry on paper towels. Divide the Brie into eight portions and spread one portion onto a tortilla. On one half of the tortilla, arrange a few slices of apple and some wilted arugula. Fold over the other half of the tortilla and press together. Repeat with the remaining tortillas, Brie, apples, and arugula.
- Heat a little olive oil in the cleaned skillet. Put in a folded tortilla and cook over medium-high heat, pressing down with a spatula, until the base is brown and crisp. Turn over and brown the other side. Transfer the quesadilla to a cutting board. Cut into three or four wedges and keep warm. Repeat with the remaining quesadillas. Serve warm.
