Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1 cup brie cheese sliced
- 1/2 cup fig jam
- 2 ripe peaches sliced
- 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves chopped
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Prepare Your Ingredients
- Wash the peaches thoroughly and slice them into thin wedges, removing pits and keeping slices uniform. Slice brie cheese into 1/4-inch thick pieces. Chop fresh basil finely.
Assemble the Quesadillas
- Lay one flour tortilla flat. Spread 2 tablespoons of fig jam over half. Layer peach slices on top, then brie cheese. Sprinkle chopped basil and season with salt and pepper. Fold tortilla in half, pressing gently.
Cook the Quesadillas
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add half a tablespoon of olive oil. Place the assembled quesadilla in the skillet and cook 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and cheese is melted. Adjust heat to prevent burning.
Serve Warm
- Remove from skillet and let rest for a minute. Slice into wedges and serve warm, optionally garnished with extra basil or olive oil.
Equipment
- Large Skillet
- Knife
- Cutting Board
Notes
- Use ripe peaches for optimal sweetness and texture.
- Do not overfill the quesadilla to prevent spilling during cooking.
- Cook on medium heat to ensure cheese melts without burning the tortilla.
- Let quesadillas rest briefly before slicing to avoid runny filling.
- Try variations with nectarines, toasted nuts, or prosciutto for different flavor profiles.
