Chef's Note

For a time-saving tip, you can prepare the vegetable mixture the night before and refrigerate it. In the morning, simply reheat it briefly before adding to the eggs. For a flavor boost, try using a Mediterranean-seasoned feta or add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the vegetable mixture for a subtle heat.

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

    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.

  • 3

    Add the diced bell pepper and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook for another 2 minutes until fragrant.

  • 4

    Add 4 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, and 1 teaspoon dried oregano.

  • 5

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

  • 6

    In a separate bowl, whisk 8 large eggs. Add 1 teaspoon of lemon zest and mix well.

  • 7

    Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in the skillet over medium heat. Pour in the whisked eggs and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft curds form but eggs are still slightly moist, about 3-4 minutes.

  • 8

    Fold the vegetable mixture into the scrambled eggs and remove from heat.

  • 9

    Lay out 4 large flour tortillas on a clean work surface. Distribute the egg and vegetable mixture evenly among them, spreading it over half of each tortilla.

  • 10

    Sprinkle 1/4 cup of crumbled feta cheese over each portion of the egg mixture. Add a few halved cherry tomatoes and a sprinkle of fresh dill to each.

  • 11

    Top with the remaining 4 tortillas to form quesadillas.

  • 12

    Heat the cleaned skillet over medium heat. Cook each quesadilla for about 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy, and the cheese begins to melt.

  • 13

    Cut each quesadilla into quarters and serve immediately.
