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.
