Baked Spinach Mushroom Quesadillas 🌿🍄
These Baked Spinach Mushroom Quesadillas are a healthy and delicious twist on the classic, with savory mushrooms, vibrant spinach, and melted cheese—perfect for a quick meal or snack!
Ingredients:
4 tortillas (8 inch) 🌮
1 cup shredded mozzarella 🧀
1 cup shredded cheddar 🧀
3 cups roughly chopped spinach 🌱
8 ounces sliced mushrooms 🍄
Olive oil (optional, enough to lightly coat the tortillas) 🫒
Instructions:
1. Preheat Oven:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
2. Sauté the Mushrooms and Spinach:
In a large skillet, heat a bit of olive oil over medium heat.
Add the sliced mushrooms and sauté for 5-7 minutes until they soften and release their moisture.
Add the chopped spinach and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the spinach wilts. Remove from heat and set aside.
3. Assemble the Quesadillas:
Lay out the tortillas on a clean surface.
Sprinkle half of the shredded mozzarella and cheddar evenly on each tortilla.
Spoon a portion of the sautéed spinach and mushroom mixture onto one side of each tortilla.
Top with the remaining cheese for extra gooeyness.
Fold the tortillas in half to form quesadillas.
4. Bake the Quesadillas:
Lightly coat each tortilla with olive oil (if desired) and place the quesadillas on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the tortillas are golden and crispy, and the cheese is melted.
5. Slice and Serve:
Remove from the oven and let cool for a minute.
Slice each quesadilla into wedges and serve with your favorite dipping sauce (sour cream, salsa, or guacamole works great!).
These Baked Spinach Mushroom Quesadillas are an easy, flavorful option for lunch, dinner, or a tasty snack! 🌱🧀
