Tortilla Brie Appetizer

This recipe is a very easy appetizer to make. I originally used Brie as the cheese of choice, but it can really be made with whatever cheese you like. I recently have made it with pepper jack cheese.

Ingredients: 
4  flour tortillas, 8 inches in diameter
Olive oil spray
8 oz of Brie with rind trimmed and cut into 1/2 slices
1/2 cup glazed walnuts (you can buy these in most supermarkets)

Preparation: 
Spray olive oil into large skillet. Heat oil over medium heat. Place one tortilla into pan. Place 1 piece of brie and 2 or 3 walnuts in each quadrant of the tortilla. Place second tortilla on top of tortilla with walnuts and brie. Spray second tortilla with olive oil. Cook for about 1 minute or until cheese starts to melt. Using a large spatula, carefully turn tortilla over in pan. Cook for one more minute. Remove tortilla from pan and cut into four pieces making sure each of the four pieces has walnuts and melted cheese within it. Repeat process with the second two tortillas. Serve war.                  

BBQ Drumettes

I prefer the drummette version of the wing, since it has the meaty portion there. I use a homemade rub for the my wings.

Ingredients:
1 tablespoon  sweet paprika
1 tablespoon dark brown sugar
2 tsp kosher salt
2 tsp ground fresh black pepper
1/2 tsp celery seed
2 packages(about 12) chicken drummettes

Preparation:
lace first five ingredients in a large zip lock bag and shake vigorously to mix contents. Place drummettes in the bag and shake to cover doing one drummette at a time. Place drummettes on baking sheet that you have lightly sprayed with oil. Cook in 325 degree oven for 30 minutes. Using previous post for BBQ sauce, mop each drummette with sauce and cook 15 minutes more, turning drummettes every 5 minutes and repeat mopping with sauce.

Serve warm with ranch dressing, if desired.
