Photo: Prosciutto, Fig, and Goat Cheese Quesadillas Recipe
Ingredients
- 8 flour tortillas, taco size
- 5 ounces creamy goat cheese
- 3 ounces thinly sliced prosciutto
- 4 figs, sliced
- 1/2 cup shredded Monterey jack cheese
- 1/2 cup fig preserves

Directions
Set up grill for direct cooking over medium heat. Oil grate when ready to start cooking.
Lay out 4 tortillas; spread each with half of the goat cheese. Divide prosciutto and figs and place on top of goat cheese. Top with jack cheese and remaining tortillas. Cook on hot oiled grill 3 to 4 minutes per side or until cheese has melted. Serve hot with fig preserves on side.
INDOOR: Prepare quesadillas as directed. In a skillet large enough to fit tortillas or an electric griddle, heat 1 to 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil over medium heat. When oil is hot, carefully fry both sides of quesadillas for 2 to 3 minutes or until golden brown; turning with a large spatula. Garnish as directed.

I made this recipe for lunch for my family using fresh figs from our back yard and it was so delightfully delicious! The combination of the sweet figs, salty prosciutto, and tart cheese gives this dish a wonderful complexity while still being super easy to make. Topping it with the fig preserves really brings out the fantastic fig flavor.

This was very delicious. I made it for dinner tonight along with a salad. I love the combination of the ingredients, definitely a do over, but if you are expecting a regular quesadilla you will be mistaken. This is a very sophisticated quesadilla. For those with a Mediterranean palette you will enjoy it.

A good alternative might be to replace the goat cheese and jack with brie.
