INTRODUCTION

I eat every day. I eat at restaurants, other people's houses, and at home, to name a few. There are so many good dishes out there and every once in a while I attempt them at home. Sometimes they are successful, sometimes not so much. But when I do make something I like, I want to keep the recipe in a place where I have quick access to it. So, here comes my new Food Blog. It is a place I can add recipes I like on a continuous basis and I can share these recipes with you. So, if you have a recipe that you want to share, please send it to me at 1Lauren23@gmail.com. I will cook/bake it, and if it works for me too, I will add it to my Blog. !!Welcome!! And Let's Eat.

PLEASE USE THE S E A R C H tool on the right hand side. You can search by ingredient i.e. "banana" or by course, i.e. "Breakfast".

Apple, Sauerkraut & Cheddar QUESADILLAS

 



I had saurkraut left over from my Adult Hallowe'en Hot Dogs and remembered making this years ago.  It has all the ingredients I like, it is easy to make, so I made it. And it was just as delicious as I remembered it to be.


Ingredients

1  Cup Sauerkraut, rinsed

1/2 Cup Water

2 - 9 to 10 inch Flour Tortillas

1-1/3 Cups Old Cheddar Cheese, shredded

1 tart, juicy Apple, peeled and very thinly sliced (I omitted the peeling and used a mandolin to get very thin sliced




Directions

Put sauerkraut and water in a medium nonreactive skillet. Gently heat just until the liquid has evaporated but not so much that the sauerkraut begins to stick to the pan. Remove from the heat.

Gradually heat a large skillet, lightly sprayed with a cooking spray (I used canola oil spray), over medium heat.   Put one tortilla in the pan and immediately sprinkle 1/3 cup cheese over half of it. Quickly arrange about half the apple slices over the cheese, then top with half the sauerkraut, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle with another 1/3 cup cheese.

Fold the tortilla over the filled half and press gently on it with a spatula to seal. Heat the quesadilla until the bottom is golden, about 2 minutes, then carefully flip and lightly brown the other side. Slide the quesadilla onto a cutting board and cut it into halves or quarters. Prepare the second one in the same fashion.

Serve with your choice of sour cream, guacamole, fresh apple sliced or similar.

Suggestion: If you like, a little chopped ham tastes wonderful layered in with the other ingredients.  I haven't tried this but it sounds good.
