Step-by-step instructions
Preheat your grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat for a perfect sear.
Toss your sliced veggies (zucchini, bell pepper, onion, and mushrooms) with olive oil, salt, and black pepper in a large bowl.
Grill the vegetables for about 5–7 minutes, turning frequently, until they are tender and have a delightful char.
Prepare the hot honey by gently warming honey with chili flakes in a small saucepan. Once warmed, take it off the heat and set aside.
Assemble your quesadilla: Place a tortilla in a clean skillet over medium heat. Sprinkle half of the feta evenly over the tortilla, then add an even layer of the grilled vegetables on top. Finish with another tortilla on top.
Cook each quesadilla for 2–3 minutes on each side, until golden brown and the cheese has melted.
Slice into wedges and drizzle with the hot honey. Garnish with fresh herbs or lime wedges, if desired.
Best ways to enjoy it
These Grilled Mediterranean Veggie Quesadillas can be served warm, straight out of the skillet, or presented elegantly on a platter. Pair them with a refreshing side salad or some homemade guacamole for a complete meal. For a Mediterranean flair, consider serving them alongside tzatziki sauce or a simple yogurt dip. This not only elevates the presentation but provides guests with delightful dipping options.
How to store
To keep leftovers fresh, store any uneaten quesadillas in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When reheating, place them back in a skillet over medium heat to maintain their crispy texture. If you want to keep them longer, you can freeze the ungrilled quesadillas. Wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and foil for up to 2 months. Just remember to unthaw in the fridge before grilling!
Helpful cooking tips
- When grilling veggies, make sure your grill pan is hot enough. A good sear adds flavor and texture.
- Don’t overstuff your quesadillas; this can make them soggy and harder to flip.
- For extra flavor, consider adding a sprinkle of cumin or smoked paprika to your vegetables before grilling.
Creative twists
If you’re in the mood to mix things up, consider these variations:
- Swap feta for goat cheese for a tangier flavor.
- Add sliced jalapeños for an extra kick.
- Experiment with different herbs like cilantro or dill to give it a fresh twist.
- For a vegan version, simply omit the cheese or use a plant-based substitute.
