Directions:
1. For pear salsa, in a medium bowl, combine chopped pear, jalapeno, onion, lime peel, and lime juice, ginger, salt, and crusted red pepper. Cover and chill for 1 to 4 hours.
2. Divide chopped Brie over half of each tortilla. Remove and drain 1 ½ cups of the pear salsa with a slotted spoon; set remaining salsa aside. Place 3 Tbsp of the drained salsa atop cheese on each tortilla. Fold tortilla in half, pressing gently. Lightly brush outsides of tortillas with oil.
In a large skillet or on a griddle, cook quesadillas, two at a time, over medium heat about 4 minutes or until lightly browned, turning once. Remove quesadillas from skillet. Cut each into three wedges. Serve with remaining salsa. If desired, garnish with thinly sliced red pear and half-slices of lime.
