 | | Directions | Preparation:
- Combine nuts, 1 tsb melted butter, sugar and cinnamon in the oven on a cookie sheet 325°F for 10 minutes- turning them, careful not to burn the nuts
- Thinly slice the pear
- Mix equal parts of jalapeno and apple jelly to create a sauce (this will keep as a great marinade)*
- Lay out two flour tortillas
Making the Quesadilla:
- Oil the bottom side of one tortilla and lay oil side down on a cutting board
- Spread goat cheese over the tortilla
- Place slices of pear evenly over the goat cheese
- Place second tortilla on top of the pear and goat cheese
- Spread mixed jellies and more goat cheese on top of the tortilla
- Add sugared walnuts
Grilling Instructions:
- Preheat GrillGrates to 400F Medium Heat (not full high heat)
- Use olive oil or grill spray on raised rails of the Grill Grates
- Slide Quesadilla onto GrillGrates- close lid
- Check in 3-4 minutes- peek underneath to judge degree of searing on the tortilla
- Quarter turn using The GrateTool - close lid
- Check in 3-5 minutes and judge crispiness of the tortillas and topside melting.
- Done in 7-10 minutes or less if the grill is running hot. Ideally you keep on the grill for 10-12 minutes by keeping grill temps down. Avoid blackened tortilla on the bottom- you are cooking too hot. Golden brown on the bottom and you've locked into perfect temps for pizza and quesadillas!
- Using The GrateTool lift the Quesadilla onto the cutting board. Let stand for 2-3 minutes for cheese to firm up a bit.
- Slice using a pizza cutter. Plan on making two since the first one will disappear quickly!
*Any combination of sweet and hot jellies will do- use your imagination.
TAILGATE UPDATE:
- This fresh quesadilla makes a superb dessert for a gourmet tailgate. The tortilla and stuffing can be prepared at home. Make the sandwich and protect and travel in a cake holder with wax paper. Put the jellies and nuts in a little tupperware and do the final, pre-grill prep right at the tailgate. Two minutes to make, 10-15 minutes to grill!
