• Use a medium heat to prevent burning.
• Brush the pan lightly with olive oil.
• Try adding fresh lemon zest for brightness.
• Double the batch for easy meal prep.
• Serve immediately for the best crunch.

Ways to Switch It Up

• In summer, add fresh diced tomatoes instead.

Common Questions

Can I use frozen spinach?

Yes, but you must squeeze it dry. Fresh spinach works best for texture. If using frozen, use about half a cup.

What if I don’t like olives?

You can easily leave them out. Try adding extra sun-dried tomatoes instead. Artichoke hearts are another great salty swap.

I hope these Mediterranean Spinach Feta Quesadillas bring a little brightness to your table. They are so simple and truly delicious. Happy cooking!
