Introduction

This Blueberry Breakfast Quesadilla is a delightful twist on a classic savory dish, combining sweet blueberries with melty cheese in a crispy tortilla. It’s a quick and easy breakfast option that’s perfect for busy mornings or a cozy weekend treat.

Ingredients

• 2 large tortillas
• 1/2 cup fresh blueberries
• 3/4 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or your choice)

Instructions

1. Step 1: Place one tortilla flat on a clean surface. Evenly spread the shredded cheese over the tortilla, then sprinkle the blueberries on top.
2. Step 2: Cover with the second tortilla to form a sandwich. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and cook the quesadilla for 2–3 minutes on each side until the tortillas are golden brown and the cheese is melted.

Tips & Variations

• Add a drizzle of honey or maple syrup inside for extra sweetness.
• Try substituting blueberries with strawberries or raspberries for a different fruity flavor.

Storage

Store any leftover quesadilla wrapped tightly in plastic wrap or an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in a skillet over low heat to keep the tortilla crisp or microwave briefly if in a hurry.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I use frozen blueberries?

Yes, but thaw and drain them first to avoid excess moisture that can make the quesadilla soggy.

What kind of cheese works best in a breakfast quesadilla?

Cheddar, Monterey Jack, or mozzarella are great choices for melting and complement the sweetness of blueberries nicely.

• 2 large flour tortillas

Fruit

• 1/2 cup fresh blueberries

Cheese

• 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or mozzarella for a milder flavor)

Instructions

1. Prepare the filling: Spread the fresh blueberries evenly over one tortilla, then sprinkle the shredded cheese on top, making sure the distribution is even for consistent melting and flavor.
2. Assemble the quesadilla: Place the second tortilla on top of the filling to create a sandwich, pressing gently to secure the ingredients.
3. Cook the quesadilla: Heat a non-stick skillet or pan over medium heat. Place the assembled quesadilla in the pan and cook for about 2 to 3 minutes on each side until both sides are golden brown and crispy, and the cheese has fully melted inside.

Notes

• Use fresh blueberries for optimal taste and texture; frozen can be used but drain excess moisture to prevent sogginess.
• Choose a cheese that melts well, such as cheddar, mozzarella, or Monterey Jack.
• Cook on medium heat to avoid burning the tortilla while ensuring the cheese melts properly.
• Can add a drizzle of honey or a sprinkle of cinnamon inside for extra sweetness if desired.
• For a gluten-free option, use gluten-free tortillas.
