Spring Time RECIPE: Goat Cheese & Asparagus Quesadillas

This Saturday, every ingredient besides the olive oil will be available for purchase. Quick, easy, delicious, healthy and local!


Goat Cheese & Asparagus Quesadillas


2T extra-virgin olive oil

1/2 lb asparagus cut into 1/2 inch pieces

Salt & pepper to taste

2 (10 inch) flour tortillas

4oz herbed goat cheese

1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro

fresh cilantro sprigs, for garnish


Heat 1 T olive oil in a skillet over medium-low heat, and cook the asparagus until tender and lightly browned. Season with salt and pepper and remove from heat.


Spread one side of each tortilla with 1/2 the goat cheese. Place 1/2 the asparagus and 1/2 the cilantro on each tortilla, and fold tortillas in half over contents to fold quesadillas. Brush the outsides of the quesadillas with remaining oil.


Place the quesadillas in a skillet over medium-low heat, and cook 3 minutes on the outside, or until lightly browned. Cut in half and garnish with cilantro to serve.

  1. Yummy, sounds great. I just commented today that I really did not like asparagus, and wasn't real interested in buying anymore, but this, I might try! Hope to see you at the Farmer's Market! I will be there as long as the rain is not too heavy! :) Happy earth day!
