Three Cheese Quesadillas with Pear

This is a fabulous recipe to have for lunch or as a starter at a BBQ.  I think the addition of the pear adds an element of surprise to the dish and goes superbly with the blue cheese.

Ingredients

1 tbsp. olive oil

30g butter

300g chestnut mushrooms sliced

8 small wholemeal wraps

80g blue cheese, crumbed

120g mozzarella grated

120g cheddar, grated

8 sliced jalapenos finely chopped from a jar

1 pear, finely sliced

Olive oil to brush

Seasoning

Method

  1. Heat the olive oil and butter in a pan on the BBQ or stove.  When hot, add the mushrooms and season well.  Cook until they have softened.
  2. Take the pan off the heat and allow to cool slightly
  3. Lay the wrap flat and fill half of it equally with the cheeses, pear, mushrooms, pear and jalapenos
  4. Close over the other half to make a half moon shape
  5. Lightly brush with olive oil and place on the BBQ (or you could use a griddle pan)
  6. When the first side is cooked, turn and brown the other half
  7. Place on a chopping board and cut each one into 3 triangles
