  1. I just found your blog and this recipe is very interesting to me. Not sure if you’ll get this note or not because the post is older but I do have a question if you have a minute. Do you use fresh or frozen spinach and does the feta cheese melt? Thanks, Emie BTW, Your photography is amazing.

      Hi! I use fresh spinach for the quesadillas. The feta gets softer and melts a bit but it doesn’t melt the way mozzarella cheese does. You can add some shredded mozzarella to get some gooey cheese action going on in it! Super yummy!

  2. Thank you so much!!
