When I saw this recipe I knew I had to try it. The first time I only had goat cheese and it was good. Yesterday I made it again, this time with brie. It was perfection.
The great thing is you can pre-make all the ingredients. Put the quesadillas together, stack them and you are ready to grill. These will be the hit appetizer of your party or bbq. Serve with a salad for lunch.

4 8-inch flour tortillas

1/4 pound brie or 6-8 ounces goat cheese

For the Chile Honey
1/4 cup honey
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper
1/2 teaspoon ancho chile powder

Place a tortilla on a flat surface. Spread the goat cheese on the tortillas and then evenly distribute about 1/4 of the peaches and onions. Season well with salt and pepper. Top with another tortilla.
