These crispy, cheesy quesadillas made with fresh spinach and feta cheese are quick to prepare and perfect for any meal of the day.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 4 pieces Medium to large flour tortillas (For the crispiest result)
- 2 cups Fresh spinach (Or frozen, thawed and squeezed dry)
- 1 cup Feta cheese (Crumbled)
- 1 cup Melty cheese (mozzarella or Monterey Jack) (This acts as the glue)
Additional Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil or butter (For crisping)
- 1 clove Garlic (Fresh or ground)
- to taste Black pepper (And optional chili flakes)
- 1 squeeze Lemon (Optional)
- 2 tablespoons Chopped green onion (Optional)
- to taste Herbs (Optional)
Instructions
Preparation
- Wilt the spinach. Add a drizzle of olive oil to a skillet, toss in spinach, and cook until it shrinks down. Add garlic, pepper, and a pinch of chili flakes if desired. Cook off any liquid in the pan for a minute.
- Mix the filling. In a bowl, combine wilted spinach, crumbled feta, and a melty cheese of choice. Taste and adjust pepper as necessary.
Cooking
- Build the quesadilla. Lay one tortilla down, sprinkle a thin layer of cheese, add the spinach and feta mix, then another light sprinkle of cheese. Top with another tortilla.
- Crisp in a lightly oiled skillet over medium heat until golden on one side, then flip and cook the other side until crispy.
- Let it sit for a minute before slicing.
Notes
These quesadillas are versatile; feel free to customize with add-ins like roasted peppers or olives. For oven-baked, preheat to 425°F and bake for about 6-10 minutes. If using an air fryer, cook at 375°F for about 8 minutes total.
