6 appetizer servings
1 onion, thinly sliced
1 T light brown sugar
¼ teaspoon white wine vinegar (any vinegar is fine as long as it isn’t flavored like raspberry)
1 ½ cups grated smoked Gouda cheese
4 10” diameter flour tortillas
2 ounces sliced prosciutto, chopped (optional)
2 T (1/4 cup) butter, melted
Melt 2 T butter in heavy medium skillet over medium heat. Add onion, brown sugar and vinegar; sauté until
onion is golden brown, stirring frequently, about 25 minutes. Remove from heat, cool to room temperature.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Sprinkle cheese over half of each tortilla, dividing equally. Sprinkle
prosciutto and sautéed onion over cheese. Season with pepper. Fold other half of each tortilla over cheese
mixture. Brush tortillas with some of melted butter.
Brush heavy large skillet with some of melted butter. Place over medium-high heat. Working in batches,
cook quesadillas just until brown spots appear, brush skillet with butter between batches about 2 minutes
per side. Transfer quesadillas to heavy large baking sheet.
