Ingredients

1/4 cup olive oil plus 2 tablespoons

12 cremini mushrooms, sliced in half

2 portobello mushrooms, cleaned and stems removed

Salt and freshly ground pepper

12 (6-inch) flour tortillas

10 cloves roasted garlic, pureed

1 pound fontina cheese, thinly sliced

3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh thyme

2 tablespoons white truffle oil

Directions

  1. Preheat grill or grill pan. Brush the mushrooms with 1/4 cup of the olive oil and season with salt and pepper to taste. Grill the mushrooms until golden brown and cooked through, remove from grill and coarsely chop. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Place 8 tortillas on an ungreased baking sheet. Spread some of the roasted garlic puree on each. Divide the cheese among the tortillas, then the mushrooms and thyme and season to taste with salt and pepper. Stack to make 4 (2 layer) tortillas and cover with remaining tortilla, brush the tops with olive oil. Place on a lightly oiled baking sheet and bake or until the tortillas are lightly golden brown and the cheese has melted, about 5 to 7 minutes. Remove and drizzle with white truffle oil.

I sort of made half this recipe - Very good, but...I used the 3 large LaTortilla low carb tortillas; a lot of roasted garlic that I did not puree I just spread it on 1 tortilla; I shredded the cheese; didn't buy fresh thyme so used about 2 teaspoons sprinkled over 2 tortillas after the cheese and mushrooms. I used 8 ounces of fontina which was way too much. It was oozing out all the sides. On 2 tortillas, I divided the cheese and mushrooms, then drizzled each with the truffle oil. I stacked the 3 tortillas and then did the oven step. What I would do next time is make two-2 tortilla quesadillas and just divide the ingredients between them. The result of this recipe is too thick with the coarsely chopped mushrooms.
