Description
The Blueberry Breakfast Quesadilla is a simple yet delightful breakfast that brings together the sweetness of blueberries, the creaminess of the filling, and the melty cheese wrapped in a golden, crispy tortilla. It’s the perfect way to start your day with a treat that’s both satisfying and easy to make in just 10 minutes!
Ingredients
1 large tortilla (whole wheat, white, or gluten-free)
½ cup fresh or frozen blueberries
1 tablespoon cream cheese or Greek yogurt
1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup
¼ teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
¼ cup shredded mozzarella or mild cheddar cheese
1 teaspoon butter or coconut oil (for cooking)
Powdered sugar or extra honey (for topping, optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Filling: In a small bowl, mix the cream cheese (or Greek yogurt) with honey and cinnamon until smooth. Spread the mixture evenly over one half of the tortilla. Sprinkle the shredded cheese on top, then add the blueberries.
- Assemble the Quesadilla: Fold the tortilla in half to cover the filling. Press down gently to keep everything together.
- Cook the Quesadilla: Heat butter or coconut oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Place the quesadilla in the pan and cook for 2–3 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy. Remove from heat and let it sit for 1 minute before slicing.
- Serve & Enjoy: Cut the quesadilla into triangles and dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with honey. Serve warm with a side of yogurt, fresh fruit, or whipped cream.
Notes
Frozen blueberries work, but fresh blueberries hold their shape better and provide a fresher texture.
If you prefer a dairy-free version, use dairy-free cream cheese or Greek yogurt and opt for dairy-free cheese substitutes.
Feel free to add toppings like whipped cream, fresh fruit, or a sprinkle of granola for added texture and flavor.
If you prefer a savory version, you can swap the blueberries for savory ingredients like spinach, cheese, and mushrooms.
For a different flavor, you can add a pinch of nutmeg or vanilla extract to the filling.
If you’re using a gluten-free diet, make sure to use gluten-free tortillas.
