Brie Cheese & Fruit Butter Quesadillas | Dessert Quesadillas

Warm Gooey Brie and Fruit Butter in a Buttery Quesadilla.  A simple and delicious sweet treat for cheese lovers!

I love food.  I’m not shy about my affection for good food and quite often express love for my favorites.  Bread, cheese, butter, dark chocolate and wine – oh, I could eat them every day for the rest of my life and never grow tired.  I’d die a happy and extra plump woman 🙂

Brie cheese.  It’s the perfect cheese.  It’s my all time, absolute favorite cheese.  It is fabulous alone or when paired with simple ingredients.

I emphasize 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 I need a bit of variety in my relationship with brie 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.

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 from Kauffman’s Fruit Farm into a flour tortilla and browned it in some butter.

Voilà!  Such a quick, easy and basic dessert yet so delicious.  The warm gooey cheese with the creamy pear butter in a buttery tortilla crust is a match made in Cheese Utopia.  Not a fan of pears?  This would also be wonderful with an apple butter.

I hope you enjoy these Brie & Pear Butter Dessert Quesadillas.  It’s a pleasent 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!  Happy Cooking!
