A delicious appetizer or light dinner, these Peach and Brie Quesadillas are a delicious sweet and savory recipe. They only take minutes to make, and have such a unique flavor.
Quesadillas make the perfect lunch, and these Peach and Brie Quesadillas are proof of that! You can also try these Roasted Veggie Quesadillas or Mushroom Spinach Quesadillas.
I oftentimes have a hard time making an effort with my lunches. Sticking with something simple, like a good old pb&j.
But then I made these quesadillas for lunch. It was such a simple recipe that took very little time, but I felt so sophisticated. It just made me realize that even though sometimes meals look or sound fancy, sometimes the best ones are quite simple and don’t take very much time at all.
And it’s made me realize that sometimes I need to step up lunch a little bit! (Although there is still nothing wrong with a good pb&j – in my opinion!)
If you are a brie fan, you will love these quesadillas. I was afraid they were going to be too sweet at first, but the sweetness of the peach actually mellows out a little bit as it is cooked. The sauce was super sweet, and if you don’t want that sweet aspect, you can totally make these quesadillas without it. But the quesadillas were just perfect for me.
If you are looking for something a little more substantial, I think that some pulled pork would be absolutely amazing inside of these quesadillas. Or even a grilled, sliced chicken breast.

brie is the perfect cheese to pair with fruit, and doing so quesadilla-style is inspired!
