Pear and Brie Quesadilla

Two summers ago, I took a nude charcoal-drawing class in New Haven. There was a cute little cafe on the street that the studio was on, so one day after class my friend and I decided to try it out. I ordered a brie and pear quesadilla with mango salsa--to this day, I still dream about how incredible it tasted.

I was in the grocery store last week and my eyes fell upon a wedge of brie and later an Asian pear. Obviously I knew what I had to do. {Isn't the jacket protecting the pear so cute?}

How do you make a pear and brie quesadilla you ask? Well the answer is quite simple!

Slice up a pear. Eat half of the slices because it is a delicious juicy pear, then place the other half on one half of a tortilla.

Slice up the wedge of brie and lay them across the pear slices.

Grill until melted, cut into wedges, and eat!

Seriously, I was a bit apprehensive when I first ordered this at the cafe. But try it if you haven't!

Oh yum. I'd like to try that with apple and cheddar, too.

Wow, I never would've ordered that in a million years. But perhaps I should try one. I just adore pears and brie and you make it look so appetizing! Lovely!
