  1. 1. Create Filling One: Sweat minced shallots in 1 tbsp butter in a small sauté pan over medium-low heat until translucent. Increase heat to medium-high, add torn chanterelle and oyster mushrooms, and cook until golden brown. Finish with 1 tsp white truffle oil. Set aside.
  2. 2. Create Filling Two: In a bowl, toss 1/2 cup small-diced roasted butternut squash with 4 fried and crumbled sage leaves and 1 tbsp toasted pepitas.
  3. 3. Create Filling Three: In a small bowl, combine 2 oz crumbled goat cheese with 2 thinly sliced fresh mission figs and 1 tsp honey. Mix gently.
  4. 4. Create Filling Four: Sauté 1/2 cup charred and sliced mixed heirloom mini peppers in a pan over medium-high heat until tender-crisp. Fold in 2 smashed cloves of garlic confit.
  5. 5. Construct Quesadillas: For each of the four quesadilla varieties, layer 1/4 cup of the combined Manchego and Oaxaca cheese blend onto one half of a blue corn tortilla. Top with the respective filling (Truffle Mushrooms, Squash/Sage, Goat Cheese/Fig, or Pepper/Garlic). Fold the tortilla in half.
  6. 6. Grill Quesadillas: Heat a heavy cast iron pan over medium-high heat. Add 1 tbsp grass-fed butter. Grill each quesadilla for 3-4 minutes per side, until the tortilla is crisp and golden, and the cheese is fully melted and bubbly.
  7. 7. Plate and Garnish: Slice each grilled quesadilla into 2-3 precise wedges. Arrange on a platter as a tasting flight. Garnish with micro-cilantro or edible flowers if desired.
