Description

I could eat quesadillas every day of my life, and I love this variation made with spinach, mushrooms, Fontina, and goat cheese. Flavorful beyond words.

Ingredients

  • 3 Tablespoons Butter
  • 16 ounces, weight White Mushrooms, Sliced
  • ⅓ cups Sherry Or Wine
  • 3 Tablespoons (additional) Sherry Or Wine
  • Kosher Salt And Pepper To Taste
  • 1 bag Baby Spinach
  • 12 whole Flour Tortillas (Soft Taco Size)
  • 8 ounces, weight Fontina (or Monterey Jack) Cheese, Grated
  • 3 ounces, weight Goat Cheese (chevre)
  • Extra Butter, For Tortillas
  • Salsa, For Serving

Preparation

Melt 2 tablespoons butter in large skillet and add sliced mushrooms. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, then saute over medium-high heat for 2 minutes, then pour in sherry. Add salt and pepper. Continue cooking for 6 to 8 minutes, or until all liquid is evaporated. Remove mushrooms from skillet and set aside.

Return skillet to stovetop and reduce heat to medium-low. Melt additional 1 tablespoons of butter and add a couple of tablespooons of sherry. Add spinach to skillet and stir gently as it wilts. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, then cook for 2 minutes, max. Remove from skillet.

To assemble the quesadillas, arrange grated Fontina, spinach, and mushrooms on top of one flour tortilla. Dot with goat cheese. Top with a little more Fontina, then top with second tortilla. Smear softened butter lightly on both sides of the quesadilla, then grill until golden brown and until cheese is totally melted. Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling.

Slice quesadillas into four wedges and serve immediately.

Just a hint to pass on, easy way to flip quesadillias is to slide it out of the pan onto a plate, put another plate on top and flip ( you don’t lose any filling this way) take off the top plate, then slide Quesadillia back in the pan to grill other side. Easy peasy

Fabulous Quesadillia ! Was looking for a mushroom & goat cheese recipe and this made it even tastier! Will never cook mushrooms without sherry again, making mushroom goat cheese quiches tomorrow & will use the sherry! Since we always have sautéed onions, garlic, spinach, kale, & Swiss chard in the refrigerator, I just added some of that and suited more onions with the mushrooms. Also used gluten free wraps/ tortillas.

loved these! I used red wine instead of sherry and it added such a depth of flavor to both the mushrooms and spinach. We also added a small slice of avocado to them afterwards which created a whole other dimension of yumminess!

These were tasty. I stirred in the spinach for just a minute to wilt a little, and then also added a handful of fresh leaves torn up somewhat on top of that. Didn’t use any sherry, as I’ve never heard of it being used in Mexican food and it certainly didn’t need it. Also used about half the amount of butter and maybe 1/2Tbs of olive oil, and added in a little onion & garlic. Good stuff, would potentially make again.
