Creamy Air Fryer Spinach and Feta Breakfast Quesadillas

Inspired by the flavors of spanakopita, these breakfast quesadillas are filled with creamy, wilted spinach, salty feta, and fresh herbs, all wrapped up in a crispy tortilla. They're perfect for a quick and easy breakfast or brunch, and they're also a great way to use up leftover spinach.

The idea for these breakfast quesadillas came to me one morning when I was trying to think of a creative way to use up some leftover spinach. I had already made a batch of spanakopita the night before, and I loved the flavors of the wilted spinach, salty feta, and fresh herbs. But I wanted something a little more portable and easy to eat for breakfast. That's when I had the idea to make these quesadillas. They're the perfect way to enjoy all the flavors of spanakopita in a quick and easy breakfast or brunch.
