Ingredients:

Serving

1 tbsp butter
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
1 lb cooking pears , such as bartlett, cored, quartered and small diced
pinch salt
1 tbsp cornstarch
1 tbsp water
1/2 lb maytag farms blue cheese, crumbled
1/2 lb brie, thinly sliced
16 small flour tortillas
vegetable oil for pan frying
1 cup walnut pieces
2 tbsp cinnamon and sugar mixture

Directions:

In a large saucepan, over medium heat, melt the butter. Stir in the sugar and cinnamon, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Add the pears and salt. Mix well. Cook for 4 minutes, stirring occasionally. Dissolve the cornstarch in the water. Stir the cornstarch slurry into the pears and continue to cook for 2 minutes.

Add a third of the quesadillas and pan fry for a couple of minutes on each side until golden brown and the cheese is melted. Pan-fry the rest of the quesadillas in small batches.
Fry the walnuts for 1 minute. Remove and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar mixture. Drain on paper towels. Slice the quesadillas in half and serve with the pear compote and walnuts. Garnish with parsley
