We've decided give all the fans of our page some great recipes from our favorite Food Network stars to help you enjoy the last few dog days of summer. Here's one from Guy Fieri's book, Diners, Drive-ins and Dives:
LOBSTER QUESADILLAS
(adapted from a recipe courtesy of Costa Vanikiotis, Eveready Diner in NY)
- 1 small red onion, cut in chunks
- 2 plum tomatoes, halved
- Salt & freshly ground pepper
- 3 (8-oz) packages of cream cheese, softened
- 12 oz coarsely grated Cheddar cheese
- 1 small bunch of scallions (white & green parts), chopped
- 3 tbsp sriracha (Thai hot sauce, can find it at most markets)
- Juice of 1 lime
- 10 (8 inch) flour tortillas
- 2 lbs cooked lobster meat, fresh or thawed frozen, sliced
- 2 tbsp canola or olive oil, plus more as needed
- salsa, guac, and sour cream, for serving
- Preheat the oven to 400 F. Put chunks of onion, and tomato halves on a lightly oiled rimmed baking sheet, season to taste w/salt & pepper, and roast until soft. Takes about 15 minutes. Cool and coarsely chop the veggies
- In a stand mixer with a paddle attachment, beat the veggies, cream cheese, Cheddar, scallions, sirarcha, and lime juice together on medium speed. Season w/a bit of salt
- Place tortilla on a work surface and spread 1/2 cup of the cheese mixture and 3 oz of lobster evenly on half of the tortilla. Fold it over to make a half-moon-shaped quesadilla. Repeat with remaining tortillas & filling
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat, add the oil and pan-fry the quesadillas, in batches, until brown and crispy(about 3 minutes per side). Cut into wedges, serve with salsa, guac, and sour cream
ENJOY!
