Chef's Note

For a make-ahead option, prepare the spinach mixture and yogurt sauce the night before. You can also experiment with different herbs like mint or parsley in place of dill. For a crispier quesadilla, lightly brush the outside of the tortillas with olive oil before cooking.

Ingredients
  • 8 each large flour tortillas

  • 4 cups fresh spinach

  • 8 large eggs

  • 1 cup feta cheese

  • 1/2 medium red onion

  • 2 cloves garlic

  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes

  • 2 tablespoons fresh dill

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano

  • 1/2 each lemon

  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt

Instructions
  • 1

    Finely dice 1/2 medium red onion and mince 2 cloves of garlic. Halve 1 cup of cherry tomatoes and chop 2 tablespoons of fresh dill.

  • 2

    Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the diced red onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened.

  • 3

    Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.

  • 4

    Add 4 cups of fresh spinach to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes until wilted. Season with 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon black pepper.

  • 5

    Transfer the spinach mixture to a bowl and wipe the skillet clean.

  • 6

    In a medium bowl, whisk 8 large eggs with 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/8 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano.

  • 7

    Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in the skillet over medium heat. Pour in the egg mixture and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft scrambled, about 3-4 minutes.

  • 8

    In a small bowl, mix 1/2 cup Greek yogurt with the juice from 1/2 lemon and 1 tablespoon of the chopped dill. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.

  • 9

    To assemble the quesadillas, place 4 tortillas on a clean work surface. Divide the scrambled eggs evenly among them, followed by the spinach mixture, halved cherry tomatoes, and crumbled feta cheese.

  • 10

    Top each with the remaining 4 tortillas and press gently to seal.

  • 11

    Heat the skillet over medium heat and cook each quesadilla for about 2 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy.

  • 12

    Cut each quesadilla into quarters, garnish with the remaining dill, and serve with the yogurt-dill sauce on the side.
