Turkey, Brie, Apricot Quesadilla

Great lunch!!!  Slice some Brie Cheese...about 1/4 inch (slice when cold and let it sit out at room temperature for as long as you can).  I am using the log brie in this recipe.  It is round, like the tortilla, and the rind is very thin, so it makes it great for melting.

When you are ready, melt 2 TBSP. of butter in a non stick skillet on  medium to medium high heat.  Spread apricot preserves on one side of ONE tortilla.  Very lightly here!  The preserves will melt and you don't want it making your tortillas soft!  It doesn't take much at all.  Place your deli turkey slices on top of the preserves, then add your Brie on top of the turkey.  Top with your naked tortilla.  Lay the preserve side down into your hot pan, on your melted butter.  Let the quesadilla cook and the tortilla get golden brown.  Flip your quesadilla and brown the other side.  If you need more butter, go ahead and add some before you flip.  Be careful when you move or flip your quesadilla.  It will come apart if you are not careful.

Once your quesadilla is browned on both sides, remove from skillet and let it rest for about 3 minutes.  Take a pizza cutter and cut like a pie.  Serve with a nice side salad (shown with olive oil and balsamic dressing -- great with Brie)!
