Peach and Brie Quesadillas with Lime-Honey Dipping Sauce

This intriguing appetizer is savory-sweet. Ripe—but firm—peaches work best; if they're too soft, they'll make the tortillas soggy. Placing the fillings on one side of the tortilla and folding the other half over (like a taco) makes the quesadillas easier to handle. Whole wheat tortillas would also be great, offering a sweet, nutty taste. The lime-honey dipping sauce balances the richness of the buttery filling.

Yield: 6 servings (serving size: 2 quesadilla wedges and about 1 teaspoon sauce)

Ingredients

• Sauce:
• 2  tablespoons  honey
• 2  teaspoons  fresh lime juice
• 1/2  teaspoon  grated lime rind
• 
  Quesadillas:
• 1  cup  thinly sliced peeled firm ripe peaches (about 2 large)
• 1  tablespoon  chopped fresh chives
• 1  teaspoon  brown sugar
• 3  ounces  Brie cheese, thinly sliced
• 4  (8-inch) fat-free flour tortillas
• Cooking spray
• Chive strips (optional)

Preparation

To prepare sauce, combine first 3 ingredients, stirring with a whisk; set aside.

To prepare quesadillas, combine peaches, 1 tablespoon chives, and sugar, tossing gently to coat. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Arrange one-fourth of cheese and one-fourth of peach mixture over half of each tortilla; fold tortillas in half. Coat pan with cooking spray. Place 2 quesadillas in pan; cook 2 minutes on each side or until tortillas are lightly browned and crisp. Remove from pan; keep warm. Repeat procedure with remaining quesadillas. Cut each quesadilla into 3 wedges; serve with sauce. Garnish with chive strips, if desired.
