To make things easy on myself, I found a recipe in my SHAPE lowfat and easy cook book for a three cheese vegetable quesadillas. I was interested to say the least. This quesadilla called for a combination of mozzarella, feta and blue cheese. I LOVE all three of these cheese, but wasn't sure how they'd taste combined.
When this dish was complete, I wasn't particularly keen on the combination, but loved the veggies. I think this would have been much better with just mozz. You may disagree, so see for yourself!

Recipe:
1/2 cup grated part-skim mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
2 tsp of blue cheese
1 tsp olive oil
2 medium tomatoes, diced
6 scallions, diced
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp chopped fresh oregano or 1/2 tsp dried
3 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro
8 8-inch tortillas
Directions:
1) Combine cheeses in a bowl; set aside.
2) Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add tomatoes, scallions, jalapeno, garlic and oregano and cook 2 minutes, until fragrant, stirring frequently. Stir in cilantro. Remove vegetables from pan; set aside.
3) Return skillet to heat and add 1 tortilla. Top 1/2 of tortilla with 2 tbsps each of cheese mixture and and vegetable mixture. Fold over untopped side and cook 1 minute per side, until cheese melts. Remove from pan and cover with foil to keep warm. Cut each quesadilla into 3 wedges and serve warm.
