Baked Spinach Mushroom Quesadillas

Ingredients:

4 tortillas (8 inches)
Olive oil (enough to cover the tortillas gently, optional)

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
3 cups roughly chopped spinach
8 ounces sliced mushrooms

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
To soften the mushrooms, place them in a bowl that is suitable to be placed in the microwave and microwave for 2 to 3 minutes.
Drain the mushrooms and set them aside.

Each tortilla should have one side lightly brushed with olive oil (optional), then it should be placed oiled side down on a baking pan.
Distribute about half of each type of cheese over half of each tortilla. Then layer the chopped spinach and sliced mushrooms on top of the cheese.
Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the spinach and mushrooms.

To make a quesadilla, fold the other half of each tortilla over the filling.
Optional: Garnish the top of the quesadillas with additional sliced mushrooms and cheese.
Bake the quesadillas in the preheated oven for about 6 minutes.
Flip each quesadilla over and bake for another 6-7 minutes until the cheese is melted and the outside of the tortillas is brown.

Before serving, take them out of the oven and allow them to cool somewhat.
Cut the quesadillas into wedges and serve as a delicious appetizer or main dish.
