Description
The Blueberry Breakfast Quesadilla is a sweet and savory twist on the classic quesadilla, combining fresh blueberries, cream cheese, cinnamon, and a crispy tortilla. It’s a delicious, quick, and healthy breakfast option, packed with flavor and a balance of textures.
Ingredients
- Flour Tortilla: For a crispy, golden outer layer.
- Fresh Blueberries: For a burst of natural sweetness and antioxidants.
- Cream Cheese: Adds a creamy, smooth texture and flavor.
- Cinnamon: A warm spice that complements the blueberries.
- Honey: A natural sweetener for added sweetness.
- Greek Yogurt: A creamy, tangy topping that enhances flavor.
- Almonds: For a crunchy topping and extra texture.
Instructions
- In a small bowl, mix cream cheese, honey, and cinnamon until smooth and creamy.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat and lightly cook the tortilla on both sides for 1-2 minutes, or until golden.
- Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over one half of the tortilla.
- Top the cream cheese with fresh blueberries and drizzle a little honey over them.
- Fold the tortilla in half and press gently. Cook for another 2-3 minutes per side until crispy and golden.
- Remove from the skillet, cut into wedges, and top with Greek yogurt and chopped almonds.
Notes
- Don’t overfill the quesadilla, as it can be hard to cook evenly.
- For a more decadent version, drizzle with maple syrup or sprinkle powdered sugar.
- If using frozen blueberries, thaw them first to avoid excess moisture.
- For a vegan version, swap cream cheese and Greek yogurt for dairy-free alternatives.
