Chef's Note
For a time-saving tip, you can prepare the vegetable mixture the night before and refrigerate it. In the morning, just scramble the eggs, combine with the vegetables, and assemble the quesadillas. For a flavor boost, try adding a tablespoon of fresh chopped dill or mint to the egg mixture.

Ingredients
10 each large flour tortillas
6 cups fresh spinach
10 large eggs
1 cup feta cheese
1 medium red bell pepper
1/2 medium red onion
2 cloves garlic
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon lemon zest
Instructions
- 1
Dice 1 medium red bell pepper and 1/2 medium red onion into small pieces. Mince 2 cloves of garlic.
- 2
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook for 2-3 minutes until softened.
- 3
Add the diced bell pepper and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook for another 2 minutes until fragrant.
- 4
Add 6 cups of fresh spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, and 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes.
- 5
Transfer the vegetable mixture to a bowl and wipe the skillet clean.
- 6
In a separate bowl, whisk 10 large eggs until well beaten. Stir in 1 teaspoon of lemon zest.
- 7
Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in the skillet over medium-low heat. Pour in the beaten eggs and cook, stirring occasionally, until just set but still slightly moist, about 3-4 minutes.
- 8
Fold the vegetable mixture into the scrambled eggs and remove from heat.
- 9
Place a tortilla on a clean work surface. Spoon approximately 1/5 of the egg-vegetable mixture onto one half of the tortilla. Sprinkle with about 2 tablespoons of crumbled feta cheese.
- 10
Fold the tortilla in half to create a half-moon shape. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.
- 11
Heat a clean, dry skillet over medium heat. Cook each quesadilla for about 2 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy.
- 12
Cut each quesadilla into wedges and serve immediately.
