This gooey caramelized onion, prosciutto and fig quesadilla is perfect party food or makes an easy weeknight dinner if you prep in advance!
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- 2 large onions, thinly sliced into half moons
- Kosher salt
- 1 Tbsp light brown sugar
- 1 Tbsp sherry vinegar
- 6 flour tortillas (fajita size, 8 inch)
- olive oil
- caramelized onions (recipe above)
- 8 oz gruyere cheese, grated
- 1/4 lb prosciutto, thinly sliced
- 2 cups arugula
- 3 Tbsp fig jam
-
Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over med/high heat. Add the onions and season with salt.
-
Cook for 15 minutes, stirring frequently, until onions are softened and beginning to brown.
-
Add brown sugar and vinegar and stir well. Reduce heat to medium and cook until onions are a deep brown, about 10 minutes. Stir often to prevent sticking and burning.
-
Brush one side of each flour tortilla with olive oil. Place a tortilla oiled side down in a nonstick skillet and scatter with one third of each of the onions, cheese, prosciutto and arugula.
-
Spread 1 Tbsp of the fig jam on the un-oiled side of another tortilla and place on top of the quesadilla, oiled side up.
-
Place the skillet over medium heat and cook until tortilla is golden brown, about 3 mins, and then carefully flip and continue to cook another 3 mins until quesadilla is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
-
Cut into quarters and serve. Repeat to make two more quesadillas.
