Add shallot; cook, stirring often, until softened, about 1 minute. Stir in mushrooms; cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned and liquid is released, about 6 minutes. Stir in asparagus, garlic, herbs, salt and pepper; cook, stirring occasionally, until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Add arugula; cook, stirring, until wilted, about 1 minute. Spread the mixture on a baking sheet to cool slightly, about 5 minutes. Meanwhile, place 4 tortillas on a cutting board. Spread 1/4 cup Monterey Jack (or Cheddar) evenly over each tortilla; sprinkle each with 1 tablespoon Parmesan. Spread 1/2 cup of the cooled mushroom mixture evenly over the Parmesan on each tortilla; top with remaining tortillas. Press down slightly with your hand. Wipe the skillet clean; place over medium heat. Carefully place 2 quesadillas in the pan; cook until golden on 1 side and the cheese is melted, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip with a large spatula; press gently with the spatula and cook until golden, 2 to 3 minutes more. Repeat with the remaining 2 quesadillas. Serve with crème fraîche and garnish with additional fresh herbs, if desired.

Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
