      Yield: 2 Servings
 
      2 tb Butter
      1 md Onion -- thinly sliced
      1 tb Golden brown sugar
    1/4 ts White wine vinegar
  1 1/2 c  Smoked Gouda cheese --
           Grated
      4    10" flour tortilla
      2 oz Sliced prosciutto --
           Chopped
      2 tb Butter -- melted
 
  Melt 2 tablespoons butter in medium skillet over medium heat. Add
  onion, brown sugar, and vinegar; saute until onion is golden brown,
  stirring frequently, about 25 minutes.  Remove from heat.  Cool to
  room temperature.
  
  Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Sprinkle cheese over half of each
  tortilla, dividing equally.  Sprinkle prociutto and sauted onion over
  cheese. Season with pepper. Fold other half of tortilla over cheese
  mixture. Brush tortillas with some of melted butter.
  
  Brush heavy large skillet with some of the melted butter. Place over
  med-high heat.  Working in batches, cook quesadillas just until brown
  spots appear, brushing skillet with butter between batches, about 2
  minutes per side.  Transfer quesadillas to hevy large baking sheet.
  
  Bake until tortillas are golden and cheese melts about
        5    minutes.
  
  Transfer quesadillas to work surface.  Cut each into 6 triangles.
  Arrange on platter and serve hot.
  
  NOTE:  I sometimes speed up the process by placing prepared
  quesadillas directly under the broiler for a quick minute or so on
  each side.
