Smoked Salmon, Basil, Lemon & Goat Gouda Quesadillas
(I’m not sure if this is best as an appetizer or a main course. I’ll let you be the one to decide.)


Ingredients:

Preparation and Cooking:
Preheat oven to 250°F


Place tortillas on a flat surface


Spread cream cheese on half of each shell


Layer salmon strips over cream cheese


Layer salmon with the Goat Gouda


Scatter basil over the Goat Gouda (you should have figured out the pattern by now?)


Add a little lemon zest and black pepper to each


Fold each tortilla in half and press together firmly


Coat the bottom of a non stick fry pan with olive oil


Heat oil and add 1-2 tortillas to the pan (depending on what it will hold)


Cook each side on medium to high heat, until golden brown and cheese is melted.
