PrintBlueberry Breakfast Quesadilla
A sweet and savory breakfast quesadilla filled with fresh blueberries, cream cheese, and a hint of cinnamon, cooked until golden and gooey.
- Total Time: 15 minutes
- Yield: 2 servings 1x
Ingredients
- 2 large flour tortillas (8–10 inch)
- 1/2 cup fresh blueberries
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- Optional: 1 tbsp maple syrup or honey for drizzling
- Optional: pinch of lemon zest
Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sugar, and cinnamon. Mix until smooth.
- Spread half of the cream cheese mixture evenly over one side of each tortilla, leaving a small border.
- Distribute the fresh blueberries over the cream cheese on one half of each tortilla.
- Fold each tortilla in half, creating a semi-circle quesadilla.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease if necessary.
- Place one folded quesadilla in the hot skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and the cream cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Repeat with the second quesadilla.
- Carefully remove from the skillet, slice into wedges, and serve warm. Drizzle with maple syrup or honey if desired.
- Garnish with a sprinkle of lemon zest if using.
Notes
For extra flavor, you can add a pinch of lemon zest to the cream cheese mixture. If you prefer a richer taste, mix in a tablespoon of mascarpone cheese with the cream cheese. These quesadillas are best served immediately but can be gently reheated in a skillet.
