Brie Quesadilla Paired With Fruit Butter
Brie cheese. It may just be the perfect cheese. It’s my all time, absolute favorite cheese. It is fabulous alone or when paired with simple ingredients.
Emphasis on simple. Quite often you’ll see the most wonderful ingredients being lost into over complicated recipes. It’s quite a shame, almost a waste.
I love brie in it’s most simple form – smeared on a piece of fresh, crusty bread. When a bit of variety is needed I’ll eat it with apple or pear slices or coat it in walnuts and give it a quick baking.
It’s simple and still all about the brie.

Ingredients & Instructions
Cheese lovers will appreciate brie being worked into a dessert using flavors that compliment and not overpower the brie.
I paired a double creme brie with a spoonful of creamy, flavorful pear butter into a flour tortilla and browned it in some butter. Apple butter is fabulous as well.
Voilà! Such a quick, easy and simple dessert yet so delicious. The warm gooey cheese with the creamy pear butter in a buttery tortilla crust is a match made in cheese lovers paradise.
I hope you enjoy these Brie Quesadillas. It’s a pleasant reminder of how simple pantry ingredients can be transformed into unexpectedly beautiful and delicious desserts. If you haven’t before, I bet you’ll be using tortillas in desserts more often.
Thanks for stopping by!

I think we should start a group called Brie Lovers Anonymous 😉 I love all cheese but brie has a special place in my heart 😉 This dessert is everything and I agree would work great with apple or any other fruit flavor. A life of bread, cheese, butter, dark chocolate and wine? Where do I sign-up?!?! Love this post Amanda!
