Notes

“`html

  • For best results, use fresh spinach. Frozen spinach can be used, but be sure to thaw it completely and squeeze out any excess moisture.
  • If you don’t have feta cheese, you can substitute goat cheese or ricotta cheese.
  • For a spicier quesadilla, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the spinach mixture.
  • These quesadillas can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Reheat in a skillet or microwave before serving.
