Goat Cheese Quesadillas

Goat cheese quesadillas are quick and easy to make, and can serve several roles in a dinner, including appetizer, entree and dessert. They are also a great snack, and with a few instructions, are even easy enough for older children to make for themselves.

Recipes range from the simplest &mdash nothing but goat cheese warmed between two tortillas &mdash to fruit and vegetable fillings and heartier meat fillings.

To make any quesadilla, spread a thin layer (about 1/2 oz.) of goat cheese on one side of two tortillas. Lightly spray a heavy skillet or griddle with non-stick cooking spray. Place one tortilla, cheese side up, onto the skillet.

Place any fillings on top of the cheese. Then, place the other tortilla, cheese side down, on top of the fillings. When the bottom tortilla begins to crisp slightly, turn it over and let the other side warm.

Remove from the skillet and cut into 4-8 pieces with a pizza cutter.

  • 1/4 tsp. salt
Other:
  • 8 - 6" tortillas
  • 4 oz. chevre soft goat cheese
