Carmelized Peach and Goat Cheese Quesadilla
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.
