Apple, Brie, & Arugula Quesadillas

My good friend, Lauren, made these for me. This was my first time cooking with arugula. It wilted a lot like spinach, and I really liked the sort of peppery taste it added. Very simple and fast recipe.

Ingredients
~6 oz Brie
-2 handfuls of arugula
-1 Granny Smith apple, sliced thinly
-4 large tortillas
-1 T honey mustard
-1 tsp apple cider (or apple cider vinegar)

Steps.
1. Remove rind from Brie (I found using a vegetable peeler worked really well for this). Cut Brie into bite size pieces. (Tip: stick your Brie in the freezer for a few minutes; this will make it easier to cut before it gets too soft.)
3. Mix mustard and apple cider together, and baste one side of a tortilla.
4. In a nonstick pan, place tortilla mustard side up. Layer cheese, apples, and arugula; top with another tortilla. Let cook for about 3 minutes, or until bottom is brown.

5. Flip tortilla and cook another 3 minutes or until other side is browned.

6. Repeat in order to make another quesadilla.
