Notes
- For a crispier texture, cook the quesadilla on medium heat to avoid burning while ensuring an even crisp.
- For a vegan version, substitute feta with a plant-based cheese alternative.
- For extra flavor, try adding roasted red peppers or a drizzle of balsamic glaze.
- Storage Tip: Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet or air fryer for the best texture.
