For all those wondering....The cheese worked out smashingly.
Particularly the mozzarella. It melted and tasted wonderfully in the quesadillas, the only discrepancy would probably be the texture of the feta. It didn't have that nice sticky crumbliness, but rather just fell apart, but it worked well in the recipe regardless.
Thanks for the feedback, again!
So sorry, that link is old. Anyway, it's from the LA Times top 10 recipes from 2010, and it's the Quesadillas stuffed with greens and feta recipe.
There are also another "winner" recipe listed on there that I've tried and recommend:
(1) Momofuku's Crack Pie
(2) *hope* to try the gruyere and walnut bread (and not freeze the gruyere this round!)
I love the Roasted Feta with Thyme Honey recipe from Amanda on this site (and listed above). It couldn't be easier. But be careful; the second time I made it, it did catch on fire a bit. :-) And I don't have thyme honey, but it still works great.
I'm curious about the feta... I've used frozen & thawed mozzarella before, but it went straight into a lasagna, so I have to sheepishly admit, never gave a second thought about the texture..
Thanks for the replies! I was going out of town, and I didn't just want to throw them away. I'm curious myself, and will keep you all updated when I cook with them!

I got the cheese originally for this recipe from LA Times:
