Caramelized onion, goat cheese, and spinach quesadillas
I got this recipe from my friend Christine...
1 tbsp olive oil
2 cups thinly sliced onion
1 tsp sugar
1/4 tsp salt
9 oz baby spinach
4 oz semisoft goat cheese
4 8-inch whole wheat tortillas
2 medium tomatoes, thinly sliced
Heat oil in large nonstick skillet over med-high heat
Add onion, sugar, salt, cook stirring occasionally until onion is golden brown
Remove from pan
Add spinach and 1 tbsp water cook 2 minutes or until spinach is just wilted
Remove from skillet and turn off heat
Spread a quarter of the goat cheese on each tortilla then top with tomatoes onion and spinach, fold closed and press lightly
Heat skillet and place two folded quesadillas in it
Cook 2 mins per side or until golden brown and lightly crisp
Repeat.
Comment from Christine: This is a recipe from Fitness magazine so increase cheese it 1 oz per quesadilla seems skimpy :)
Comment from me: I agree with Christine. We used about 5-6 oz of goat cheese for 4 quesadillas, and that seemed like a good amount.
