Description
A warm, crispy breakfast quesadilla filled with sweet blueberries, melted mozzarella, and creamy cheese, creating a perfect balance of sweet and savory flavors for a satisfying morning treat.
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 medium-sized flour tortillas
- 2 cups fresh blueberries (or frozen, thawed)
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup cream cheese (softened)
- 1/4 cup sugar (or honey/maple syrup to taste)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
- Butter or cooking spray (for cooking)
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine blueberries, cream cheese, sugar, lemon juice, and cinnamon (if using). Mix gently to coat evenly.
- Lay one tortilla flat and spread the blueberry mixture over one half. Sprinkle with shredded mozzarella cheese, then fold the tortilla into a half-moon shape.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or cooking spray and cook the quesadilla for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and the cheese is melted.
- Remove from skillet, let cool slightly, slice into wedges, and serve warm with yogurt, syrup, or extra blueberries if desired.
Notes
- Use gluten-free tortillas for a gluten-free version.
- Dairy-free cheese and cream cheese can be used for a vegan-friendly option.
- Try other fruits like strawberries or blackberries for variation.
- Ensure frozen blueberries are thawed and drained to prevent soggy quesadillas.
