Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Wash 2 cups of fresh spinach and chop into small pieces. Sauté the spinach in a skillet over medium heat for about 3 minutes until wilted. Remove from heat, and combine with chopped fresh herbs, 2 chopped green onions, and 1 cup of crumbled feta cheese. Mix well and set aside.
  2. Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Place 1 tortilla in the skillet and sprinkle half of 1 cup of kasseri cheese evenly over it. Spoon the spinach and feta filling over the cheese, then top with the remaining cheese and cover with a second tortilla. Warm for about 1-2 minutes until the bottom tortilla is golden.
  3. Carefully flip the quesadilla using a spatula, placing a plate over the skillet to invert it. Slide it back into the skillet and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the second side is golden brown and cheese is melted.
  4. Remove the quesadilla from the skillet and let it rest for a minute before slicing into wedges. Serve warm with tzatziki sauce or a crisp salad.
