Chef's Note
For a time-saving tip, you can prepare the egg and vegetable mixture the night before and refrigerate it. In the morning, simply reheat the mixture slightly before assembling your quesadillas. This brings the Mediterranean flavors of spinach and feta together in a portable breakfast format that's perfect for busy mornings.

Ingredients
8 each large flour tortillas
4 cups fresh spinach
1 cup feta cheese
8 large eggs
1 medium red bell pepper
1/2 medium red onion
2 cloves garlic
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 cup cherry tomatoes
2 tablespoons fresh dill
Instructions
- 1
Dice 1/2 medium red onion and 1 medium red bell pepper into small pieces. Mince 2 cloves of garlic. Halve 1 cup of cherry tomatoes. Chop 2 tablespoons of fresh dill.
- 2
In a large bowl, whisk 8 large eggs until well combined. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
- 3
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened.
- 4
Add the diced bell pepper and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook for another 2 minutes until fragrant.
- 5
Add 4 cups of fresh spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted, about 1-2 minutes.
- 6
Pour the whisked eggs into the skillet with the vegetables. Add 1 teaspoon dried oregano and 1 teaspoon lemon zest. Stir gently and cook until the eggs are just set but still moist, about 3-4 minutes.
- 7
Remove the egg mixture from heat and fold in 3/4 cup of crumbled feta cheese and the halved cherry tomatoes.
- 8
Heat a clean large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Place a tortilla in the skillet and sprinkle with a small amount of the remaining feta cheese.
- 9
Spoon approximately 1/4 of the egg and vegetable mixture onto one half of the tortilla. Fold the tortilla in half to create a half-moon shape.
- 10
Cook for 2-3 minutes per side until the tortilla is golden brown and crispy and the cheese has melted.
- 11
Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling to make 4 quesadillas (8 half-moon pieces total).
- 12
Garnish with fresh dill before serving.
