🫓 Baked Spinach & Mushroom Quesadillas (Mediterranean)
🛒 Ingredients (Serves 4)
4 large flour or whole-wheat tortillas
2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
1 small onion, finely chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
250 g (8 oz) mushrooms, sliced
2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
1 tsp dried oregano
½ tsp dried thyme or basil
½ tsp black pepper
½ tsp salt (or to taste)
½ tsp smoked paprika (optional)
1½ cups shredded mozzarella
½ cup crumbled feta cheese
¼ cup grated Parmesan
Optional: sliced olives or sun-dried tomatoes
🔪 Instructions
Preheat oven to 200°C / 400°F. Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
Sauté filling: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add onion and cook until soft (2–3 minutes).
Add garlic and mushrooms; cook until mushrooms release moisture and turn golden (5–6 minutes).
Stir in spinach, oregano, thyme, paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook just until spinach wilts. Remove from heat.
Assemble: Lay tortillas flat. Sprinkle mozzarella on half of each tortilla, add mushroom-spinach mixture, then feta and Parmesan. Fold over to close.
Bake: Place quesadillas on the tray. Lightly brush tops with olive oil.
Bake for 12–15 minutes, flipping once, until golden and crispy.
Serve hot with yogurt-tzatziki or garlic sauce.
