Equipment
- Skillet or frying pan
Ingredients
- 4 white tortilla wraps
- 200 g Brie sliced
- 2 tbsp cranberry sauce
- 250 g leftover roast turkey or pan-fried turkey breast
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
Instructions
- Place four tortillas onto a clean work surface and top two of them with 50g Brie each.
- Shred the leftover turkey using a fork and divide it between the Brie-topped tortillas.
- Add another layer of 50g Brie to each tortilla.
- Spread 1 tbsp of cranberry sauce over each of the remaining tortillas and then place them on top of the final Brie layer.
- Melt 1 tbsp butter in a hot skillet or frying pan and transfer the first quesadilla to the pan. Let the cheese melt a little before flipping it, or the fillings might come tumbling out. Use a spatula to press down on the tortilla, encouraging it to seal together. Cook for 3-4 minutes each side, until the tortillas are golden brown and the filling is hot throughout. Once cooked, carefully remove from the pan, melt another 1 tbsp of butter and repeat the process to cook the second quesadilla.
- Cut the quesadillas into quarters and serve hot (although any leftovers can be eaten cold later).
Notes
- Place a lid on the skillet during cooking to encourage the Brie to melt faster.
- If you’re not overly hungry or if you’ve got smaller mouths to feed, you can half the ingredients and just use one tortilla per person. Simply place the ingredients over one half of the tortilla and then fold it in half for cooking.
- If you don't happen to have any leftover turkey lying around, you can use a pan-fried turkey breast instead.
