Egg, Spinach & Mushroom Quesadillas

Jump to Recipe

Mmmm a hint of garlic, eggs, cheese, mushrooms, spinach, all neatly tucked up in a quesadilla… not much more this girl would ask for. Spinach is a veggie I have fallen hard for as an adult. It wasn’t something I ate much of growing up, but now I can’t get enough of it… add it to everything!

Quesadillas filled with eggs, mushrooms, spinach, cheese & a hint of garlic... not much more this girl would ask for! Great for breakfast, lunch or dinner...

Breakfast-for-dinner (BFD) is very popular in our house but I’ve served these quesadillas for breakfast, lunch and dinner. I’ve even frozen them to take to work later in the week.

Scrambled Egg, Spinach & Mushroom Quesadilla's

A hint of garlic, eggs, cheese, mushrooms & spinach... not much more this girl would ask for!

Servings: 2
Author: Cheryl Meyer, Dish & Delite
Ingredients
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil, divided
  • 3 button mushrooms, diced
  • heaped ½ cup (65 g) frozen spinach
  • 2 eggs
  • a splash of milk
  • pinch of garlic powder
  • salt and pepper, to season
  • ⅓ cup grated cheddar or mozarella cheese
  • 2 multiseed wraps
Method
  1. Whisk together the eggs, milk, garlic, salt and pepper.
  2. Warm through and wilt down the spinach in 1 teaspoon of olive oil, in a frying pan. Transfer the cooked spinach to a bowl and set aside.
  3. Cook the mushrooms in 1 teaspoon of olive oil, in the frying pan. Remove and combine with the cooked spinach.
  4. Lastly scramble your egg mixture in the frying pan and combine them with the spinach and mushrooms to complete your filling.
  5. To make the quesadillas: Sprinkle one wrap with ½ the cheese across ½ the tortilla, leaving a small border around the edge. Top with half the egg mixture, then fold the empty wrap half over the filling. Repeat for with your second wrap.
  6. To cook, wipe out the frying pan and lightly coat with olive oil cooking spray, then place on a medium heat. Place an assembled quesadilla (cheese-side down first) in the pan to toast on both sides until golden and the cheese is melted, about 5-6 minutes total. Cut into triangles and serve warm.

Enjoy!

    These look great! I’m with you on the spinach, as a kid I couldn’t stand to even see it but now I add it to almost everything.

          Thanks so much Annie!!! You do need extra calories and nutrients when you’re breastfeeding but I’m well aware of that the struggle to stay on top of everything is REAL and mommy often ends up coming last! Fellow dietitian Elizabeth Ward posted this list of 15 snacks for breastfeeding moms that are super nutritious and simple for the Real Mom Nutrition blog: https://www.realmomnutrition.com/snacks-for-breastfeeding-moms/. I hope this is helpful!
