With gooey melted cheese, savory mushrooms, and fresh spinach, these quesadillas are sure to become a favorite in your household. Plus, they’re baked, making them a healthier alternative to the traditional stovetop method. Let’s dive into the recipe!
Ingredients
- 4 tortillas (8 inch)
- Olive oil (optional, enough to lightly coat the tortillas)
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella
- 1 cup shredded cheddar
- 3 cups roughly chopped spinach
- 8 ounces sliced mushrooms
Directions
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This ensures that the quesadillas will cook evenly and get that perfect golden-brown crispiness.
Step 2: Prepare the Mushrooms
Place the sliced mushrooms in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave them for 2 ½ to 3 minutes to soften. Once done, drain any excess liquid and set the mushrooms aside.
Step 3: Prep the Tortillas
Lightly brush one side of each tortilla with olive oil (if using). This helps to make them crispy and adds a bit of flavor. Place the tortillas on a baking sheet with the oiled side down.
Step 4: Assemble the Quesadillas
Distribute half of the shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheeses over one half of each tortilla. Next, layer the roughly chopped spinach and softened mushrooms on top of the cheese. Finish by sprinkling the remaining cheese over the veggies. Fold the other half of the tortilla over the filling to form a half-moon shape.
Step 5: Bake the Quesadillas
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven. Bake the quesadillas for about 6 minutes. Then, carefully flip each quesadilla over and bake for another 6-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the tortillas are golden brown.
Step 6: Serve and Enjoy!
Once the quesadillas are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a minute before cutting them into wedges. Serve with your favorite salsa, guacamole, or sour cream. Enjoy your delicious Baked Spinach Mushroom Quesadillas!
