Spanakopita Quesadillas

by Izy Hossack

Combining a crisp pan-fried tortilla with this cheesy green filling makes for a simple, satisfying lunch.

Method

Based on 2 servings, adjust as needed.

Step 1

Place the spinach and cavolo nero leaves (or curly kale) in a large pan with a little water over a medium heat. Cover with a lid, reduce the heat to low and leave for a few minutes to wilt.

Step 2

Once wilted, rinse the greens under cold running water, then squeeze as much water out as possible. Roughly chop the greens and add to a medium bowl with the cheeses, herbs, garlic, egg and salt and stir until evenly mixed.

Step 3

Heat 1 teaspoon of the oil in a large frying pan over a medium heat. Tilt the pan so the oil spreads to cover the base of the pan. Place 1 tortilla into the pan and cover half of it with one-third of the spinach mixture. Fold the tortilla in half up and over the filling and press down to seal. Cook over a medium-low heat until the underside is golden, then flip over and cook the other side until golden. Transfer to a plate and repeat with the rest of the filling and tortillas.

Step 4

Cut the tortillas into wedges and eat hot, with a dip of your choosing, if you wish.
