Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 large flour tortilla (or whole wheat for extra fiber)
- 2–3 tablespoons cream cheese (softened; regular or low-fat)
- ¼ cup fresh blueberries (frozen and thawed also work)
- 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
- A pinch of cinnamon
- Cooking spray or butter (for cooking)
Instructions
- Prepare cream cheese mixture: In a small bowl, combine the softened cream cheese with the pinch of cinnamon and the optional honey or maple syrup to create a smooth, flavorful spread. If short on time, you can skip mixing and sprinkle cinnamon directly onto the tortilla instead.
- Assemble quesadilla: Lay the tortilla flat and spread the cream cheese mixture over half of the tortilla, keeping a small border along the edges to avoid filling leakage. Evenly scatter the blueberries on top of the cream cheese. Fold the tortilla in half gently, pressing slightly to seal the contents.
- Cook the quesadilla: Heat a skillet over medium-low heat and lightly coat it with cooking spray or butter. Place the folded quesadilla onto the skillet and cook for 2 to 3 minutes on one side until golden brown. Carefully flip and cook the other side for another 2 to 3 minutes, pressing down gently with a spatula to ensure even browning and crispness.
- Serve: Transfer the cooked quesadilla to a plate and let it cool for a minute, as the blueberry filling will be hot. Slice into wedges for easy serving. Optionally, drizzle with additional honey or add a dollop of Greek yogurt for extra creaminess.
Notes
- Use whole wheat tortillas for added fiber and nutrients.
- Frozen blueberries can substitute fresh; just thaw before using.
- Adjust cinnamon and honey quantities to suit your taste preference.
- Serve with Greek yogurt or extra honey for a more indulgent breakfast.
- Cook on medium-low heat to prevent burning and ensure the cheese melts properly.
