    Servings 2 servings

    Ingredients
     

    • 4 small tortillas
    • 2 ripe pears peeled and sliced
    • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
    • 2 tablespoons butter
    • ¾ cup pecans toasted and chopped
    • 1 cup crumbled gorgonzola cheese
    • Arugula
    • Balsamic vinegar

    Instructions
     

    • Toss the pears with the brown sugar in a small bowl. Heat the butter in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pears in a single layer and cook until golden brown, about 2 minutes on each side. Transfer to a plate and let it cool.
    • To make the quesadilla: On a work surface, spread 2 of the tortillas. Sprinkle the gorgonzola cheese over the bottom of each tortilla. Add the pears evenly on top of the cheese, then top with pecans. Top with another tortilla.
    • Heat a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray over medium heat. Carefully place 1 quesadilla in pan and cook 2 minutes. Using a spatula, gently flip the quesadilla and cook an additional 2 minutes until lightly browned and cheese is melted. Repeat with second quesadilla. Serve warm over arugula drizzled with balsamic vinegar.

    Meet my new favorite quesadilla. I made this pear quesadilla for my husband last week and he absolutely loved it! I served it over a bed of arugula drizzled with balsamic vinegar. I really hope that you all try this one. It is one delicious dish:)

      This is very interesting, so you serve them for dessert? And were those flour tortillas?

      What a good idea! It makes sense — I love pear and gorgonzola together — but I would never think to put them in a quesadilla. Sounds fabulous!

      Que buena receta. Me encanta porque la combinación de las peras y gorgonzola es estupenda.
      Pero una pregunta. ¿Las tortillas son las tortillas hechas con huevos o son las tortillas de harina como las mejicanas?

      Un beso.
