  6. Add a portion of the spinach and onion mixture over the cheese, then sprinkle with feta, oregano, black pepper, and red pepper flakes if using.
  7. Fold the tortilla in half and cook for 2–3 minutes per side until golden and crisp and cheese is melted.

  9. Let quesadillas rest briefly, then slice into wedges and serve warm.

Notes

  • Use thawed and well-drained frozen spinach if fresh is unavailable.
  • Low-moisture shredded mozzarella melts best and holds filling together.
  • Add sun-dried tomatoes or olives for extra Mediterranean flavor.
  • Include grilled chicken or chickpeas for added protein.
  • Reheat in a skillet or oven to maintain crispness; avoid microwaving if possible.
  • Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
