Smoked Gouda and Drunk Onion Quesadillas

March9

 

These quesadillas were another huge hit at every party we catered. They are so easy and so, so, so good. People would ask, “how do you get the onions to taste so sweet yet savory.” Our answer? Get ‘em good and drunk! Add half a bottle of wine and boil the hell out of ‘em.

Fabulous for a tapas dinner party, an appetizer or a weekend lunch.

I’ve got bills to pay and laundry to fold so I’ve gotta run – but! Make these. You will love them.

Hubby’s note: Tests show that if you give your wife a half bottle of wine and soak her in the tub and/or a jacuzzi, you will acheive the same results. Savory and sweet. I’m just sayin’.

Ingredients
8 flour tortillas
1 onion, sliced into rings and then cut in half
1/2 pound gouda, grated
1/2 stick butter, melted
Seasoned salt (like Lawry’s)
1/2 bottle of red wine (the rest is for you…you deserve it!)

Directions
Add wine and onions to a small pot and cook at medium flame until all of the wine has been reduced and absorbed by the onions. Heat oven to 350. Place two tortillas on a baking sheet (if you have two baking sheets, you can knock these out at once). Place a layer of gouda on the tortilla followed by a generous helping of drunk onions. A little more gouda on top and then place another tortilla on top. Brush with butter and sprinkle with seasoned salt. Place in oven for 3 minutes, then using a spatula, flip the quesadillas over. Bake for an additional 3 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool for a few minutes. Then slice and serve!

    These sound great! Drink a half a bottle and cook with the other half!

  • Arbonne and losing weight!
    About a month ago, my good friend Kari asked me if I would be interested in participating in Arbonne’s Fit Challenge for 30 days. I was a bit skeptical about it, but with summer rearing its ugly bikini head in a few months, I was excited to add something to my daily regimen that would […]
  • “Worth the love handle” Cinnamon Rolls
    I apologize now for these. There is absolutely no easy way for me to say this. But once you have had these, you may never be the same. You may sleep with a beautiful jar of cinnamon. You may ask for the cinnamon roll air freshener at the car wash. It might even lead you […]
  • Fried Brussel Sprout Leaves with Sea Salt
    For the hubby’s birthday, I kidnapped him from work and took him to Chicago for the weekend. We haven’t been to Chicago since I was seven months pregnant with Pixie. You see, one of my best girlfriends lives in the windy city and she’s single. And knows how to have a blast. Essentially, this was […]
  • Carnitas Pizza
    What is it with kids dumping every single damn toy out of every bin every single day? I was drowning in barbies, stepping on legos (if you haven’t had the pleasure of stepping on a lego yet, oh just you wait! Your time is coming), being run over by Thomas and the gang of Cars […]
  • French Onion Soup
    Buggies bit Pixie tonight. CRAP. The hubby asked my sweet Pixie to turn the bath water on and Buggies was pissed and wanted to do it herself and guess what? My little spit-fire BIT. HER. SISTER. She has NEVER in her almost four years on this planet ever bit anyone. So I had to discipline […]
