Description
A warm, crispy Mediterranean quesadilla combining melty cheese, bright spinach, and briny feta, perfect for a quick weeknight dinner or easy lunch.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tortillas
- 2 cups spinach
- 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1–2 cloves garlic, minced
- Black pepper, to taste
- Salt, to taste
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Mince garlic and prepare spinach.
- Add minced garlic to hot oil and sauté until fragrant, about 20–30 seconds. Add spinach and cook until wilted, about 1–2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat.
- Place one tortilla in a dry skillet over medium-low heat. On one half, layer spinach, feta, and mozzarella. Fold tortilla and press lightly. Cook until golden brown, about 2–3 minutes, then flip and cook the other side until golden and cheese melts, another 2–3 minutes.
- Transfer to a cutting board, let rest for a minute, then cut into wedges and serve warm. Optionally, add extra feta or a drizzle of olive oil.
Notes
For a crispier quesadilla, use a lightly oiled skillet and press while cooking. Optionally finish briefly under a broiler for extra crispness.
