Gorgonzola Quesadillas

I adore appetizers. Gorgonzola quesadillas are not only a easy and quick appetizer but a real tasty treat. Gorgonzola is a blue cheese that makes a great date for walnuts. The onions top it off perfectly, try it for yourself.

In fact, these quesadillas are so popular around here that sometimes I serve them for dinner beside a salad.

  • Gorgonzola Cheese
  • Chopped Walnuts
  • Red Onion Caramelized
  • Flour Tortillas

First step, caramelize the onions:

1 Red Onion Sliced
1 Tablespoon of Brown Sugar
1/2 Cup of Red Wine

Next, lay out the tortillas (psst, Trader Joes makes a great flour tortilla) onto a pan. Top the tortilla with Gorgonzola Cheese, chopped walnuts and a few slices of onion. Place in the broiler and be certain to keep an eye-things happen fast in there.

Cut the quesadilla into three triangles.
