Ingredients

1 large tortilla (whole wheat, white, or gluten-free)

1/2 cup fresh or frozen blueberries

1 tablespoon cream cheese or Greek yogurt

1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup

1/4 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)

1/4 cup shredded mozzarella or mild cheddar cheese

1 teaspoon butter or coconut oil for cooking

Powdered sugar or extra honey for topping (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, mix cream cheese or Greek yogurt with honey and cinnamon until smooth.
  2. Spread the mixture evenly over one half of the tortilla.
  3. Sprinkle shredded cheese on top, then add the blueberries.
  4. Fold the tortilla in half to cover the filling and press down gently to keep everything together.
  5. Heat butter or coconut oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
  6. Place the quesadilla in the pan and cook for 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy.
  7. Remove from heat and let sit for 1 minute before slicing.
  8. Cut into triangles and dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with honey for an extra sweet touch.
  9. Serve warm with a side of yogurt, fresh fruit, or whipped cream.

Notes

  • Berry Variety: You can switch out blueberries for other berries like raspberries or strawberries for a different flavor profile.
  • Dairy-Free Option: To make this dish dairy-free, substitute plant-based yogurt and cheese.
  • Mascarpone Twist: For a richer, creamier texture, swap cream cheese for mascarpone cheese.
  • Extra Sweetness: Drizzle some extra honey or maple syrup on top for an added sweet touch.
  • Spice it Up: Add a pinch of nutmeg or ginger along with the cinnamon for an extra layer of flavor.
  • Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
  • Reheating: Reheat in a non-stick skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes per side until crispy and warm again. Alternatively, use a microwave for about 30 seconds, though it may lose its crispiness.
