Instructions
Creating delicious Spinach and Feta Quesadillas is simple. Follow these steps to ensure perfect results every time:
1. Prepare the Ingredients: Chop the spinach and mince the garlic. Gather all ingredients for easy access.
2. Sauté Spinach: In a non-stick skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
3. Add Spinach: Stir in the chopped spinach, cooking until wilted (about 2-3 minutes). Season with salt and pepper, then remove from heat.
4. Set Up the Quesadilla: Lay out a tortilla on a clean work surface. Spread a layer of feta cheese, followed by the sautéed spinach, and additional mozzarella cheese on one half of the tortilla.
5. Fold the Tortilla: Fold the tortilla in half to cover the filling, creating a half-moon shape.
6. Cook the Quesadilla: In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of olive oil and place the folded quesadilla in the pan. Cook for 3-4 minutes on one side until golden brown.
7. Flip and Finish: Carefully flip the quesadilla and continue cooking for an additional 3-4 minutes until both sides are crispy and the cheese is melted.
8. Repeat: Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas and filling.
9. Cut and Serve: Remove from the pan and let cool for a minute. Cut into wedges and serve with your choice of dipping sauce like salsa or sour cream.
By following these straightforward steps, you’ll have a platter of golden, cheesy Spinach and Feta Quesadillas ready to enjoy.
