LOBSTER-TOASTED GARLIC QUESADILLAS WITH BRIE CHEESE

Steps:

• Preheat grill to high. Brush the cut side of the lobster with oil and season with salt and pepper. Place the lobster on the grill, shell side down, and grill until lightly golden brown and just cooked through. Remove the meat from the lobster and coarsely chop.
• Heat a tablespoon of oil in a small saute pan on the grates of the grill. Add the garlic and cook until lightly toasted. Place 4 tortillas on a work surface and divide the half of the cheese, lobster, and garlic among the tortillas. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
• Place another tortilla on top and then divide the remaining cheese, lobster, and garlic over top. Place the remaining tortillas on top to make 2-layer quesadillas. Brush tops of the tortillas with oil and then place the quesadillas on the grill, oiled side down. Grill until golden brown, about 2 to 3 minutes. Carefully flip the quesadillas over, close the cover of the grill, and grill until the cheese has melted, about 2 to 3 minutes longer. Remove from the grill, cut each quesadilla into quarters, and serve with the various toppings.
• Combine all ingredients in a medium bowl. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
• Place ancho chiles in a medium bowl, cover with boiling water, and let sit at room temperature for 1 hour. Remove from soaking liquid, coarsely chop, and place in a blender with the garlic, 1/4 to 1/2 cup of the soaking liquid, 2 to 3 tablespoons canola oil, and the pine nuts; blend until smooth. Pour the mixture into a medium bowl.
• Preheat grill to high. Brush peppers with oil and season with salt and pepper. Place on the grill and grill until charred on all sides. Remove, place in a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let steam 15 minutes. Remove skin and cut into julienne strips. Transfer the peppers to the bowl with the ancho puree and add the vinegar. Chop the cilantro, add it to the salsa, and season with salt and pepper, to taste.

BRIE & AVOCADO QUESADILLAS

Steps:

• Place a tortilla in each of the two skillets set over low heat.
• Arrange half of the Brie slices on top of each tortilla.
• Top each tortilla with half of the tomatoes, avocado, parsley, scallions, hot pepper sauce, salt, and pepper.
• Let cook for 2 minutes, using a spatula to loosen the tortilla from the bottom of the skillet to make sure it's not sticking.
• Place another tortilla on top of each of the tortillas and very carefully, using a wide spatula, flip the quesadilla over and cook another 2 to 4 minutes, or until the cheese is just melted.
• Remove from the skillet and cut each quesadilla into quarters.
• Sprinkle with the scallion garnish and serve hot.

MANGO BRIE QUESADILLA

Steps:

• Remove Brie from freezer to let warm up. Carefully remove skin from mango and cut away from seed as much of meat as possible (remember mangos have a flat seed, so you should be able to get 2 large meaty pieces) Carefully slice mango into thin strips. By this time the Brie has begun to thaw, and should slice easily into very thin strips. (Brie, being such a soft cheese, could never otherwise be sliced, unless frozen first.) Lay a tortilla on a work surface and place 2/3 of the Brie slices on the tortilla. Add about 6 to 8 of the mango slices, and top with remaining Brie. (This will glue the quesadilla together when cooked.) Top with remaining tortilla and press together.
• Heat nonstick 10-inch saute pan and add butter on medium heat. Saute quesadilla until golden brown on both sides. Remove from heat and allow to cool 5 minutes, cut into 8 slices and top with Avocado Salsa.
• In a large bowl, mix together all salsa ingredients. Let sit at room temperature for at least 15 minutes to let the flavors mingle.

AVOCADO QUESADILLAS

Steps:

• In a small bowl, mix together the tomatoes, avocado, onion, lemon juice and Tabasco.
• Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• In another small bowl, mix together sour cream, coriander, salt and pepper to taste.
• Put tortillas on a baking sheet and brush tops with oil.
• Broil tortillas 2 to 4 inches from heat until pale golden.
• Sprinkle tortillas evenly with cheese and broil until cheese is melted.
• Spread avocado mixture evenly over 2 tortillas and top each with 1 of remaining tortillas, cheese side down to make 2 quesadillas.
• Transfer quesadillas to a cutting board and cut into 4 wedges.
• Top each wedge with a dollop of sour cream mixture and serve warm.

BRIE, PAPAYA AND ONION QUESADILLAS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F. Heat oil in medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and jalapeño and sauté until onion is just tender, about 4 minutes; cool slightly.
• Arrange 4 tortillas on heavy large baking sheet. Arrange Brie, then cilantro, papaya and onion mixture over tortillas, dividing equally. Top each with another tortilla, pressing to adhere.
• Bake quesadillas until cheese melts and filling is heated through, about 8 minutes. Transfer quesadillas to plates; cut into wedges. Serve passing sour cream and salsa, if desired.
