Brie, Apple, and Arugula Quesadillas
Fuji apples offer a crisp counterpoint to the rich, creamy cheese. Substitute Honeycrisp or Ambrosia apples, if you prefer.

This was a great alternative to your typical quesadilla. I did make one change, instead of a mustard sauce, I used fig preserves as I make a pizza with arugula and fig and the combo is always amazing. I found these to be just as good cooked ahead of time, refrigerated and served cold.
I will admit, I was skeptical about this recipe due to the mix of flavors. I could not have been more wrong. I absolutely loved this! Once again, Cooking List has opened me up to new flavors.
For some reason I really didn't like these... the brie was not very flavorful and just kinda added a mushy background. Made with Arugula and while I like the taste of some arugula in salads, this was a little overpowering for me. I think it was more personal taste then a bad recipe.
These are really tasty, but I think a few modifications would make them even better! I would recommend using granny smith apples as a nice tart contrast to the brie. I would also double the mustard and try to find a nice spicy brown one. I've never been a huge fan of arugula, so I think I would try spinach instead next time. Also tried them with prosciutto at the recommendation of another reviewer and was not disappointed. This recipe is definitely a keeper!
These were a tasty and quick weekend lunch. Yum! I've even used these same ingredients on a pizza and it was also tasty.
This is so good and easy. I could not find any arugula so I used alfalfa sprouts. I could have used spinach too. I used the low carb high fiber tortillas. Really like the idea of adding proscuitto and a dipping sauce! Do try!
This is SO good. It is very unique but incredibly tasty. I added red onion and made extra mustard sauce for dipping. This is also a quick and easy recipe.
What is great about this is that it's so easy and tastes like you're 'being bad'. Really creamy, delicious flavors.The dijon gives a nice kick to it, and the peppery arugula with a good earthy brie, and the crisp apples.... mmmmmm.... Just don't leave the apple slices too thick, or it sets it off balance.
This recipe is a clear fall winner. Simple to make, yet a very distinct flavor. These are awesome for lunch and fill you up way more than you might think (with no meat). I made them twice last weekend. Read the full review here: http://onenightaweek.wordpress.com/2010/10/18/week-32-know-a-celebrity-eat-like-royalty/
A great change to the usual dinner and VERY quick! I added some prosciutto on top of the arugula which was a nice addition and passed my husbands carnivorous requirement! I will definitely fix this again.
Quesadillas at a grown up level! These were fantastic and I can't wait to make them again. I did find that they were overflowing, but can't complain too much about that.
These were excellent and easy. All the flavors went really really well together. I'll definitely make these often. I used spinach instead of arugula.
Delicious! Definitely something different!
Made these for dinner last night...delicious recipe! The wonderfully meshing flavors that came out from the ingredients were a delight to devour. I was a little weary about using so much pepper but it worked. Together, the Brie & Flour Quesadilla were a winning combination and constituted my favorite bites. I will definitely make this again, it was quick and easy at-home gourmet!
Good - but I think it would work better as a panini. Next time I'm going to try it as a sandwich on some sourdough or ciabatta, because the flavors worked really well together and I loved the contrast of the creamy brie with the crunchy apple.
Made this for my boyfriend and a friend. They loved it. So easy to make. We each had a full quesadilla so it was more of a meal. The flavors were great. I doubled the dijon/cider sauce for a little more flavor.
This was a nice deviation from the typical, but we felt as though it needed a little punch (like a dipping sauce or similar). My spouse pulled out the dijon mustard, and we spread it on top. Yum!!
We made this last night and it was Excellent! Easy to make and great flavor. Will definitely make again!
