A stack of four folded quesadillas with a light golden brown toast and sprinkled with cinnamon sugar sits on a small wooden board lined with white parchment paper; the top quesadilla is slightly tilted, revealing a soft, warm texture. To the right, a white ramekin is filled with fresh, plump blueberries, some spilling onto the white marbled surface. Behind the stack, a white plate holds several dark brown sausage patties with a rough texture. In the background, a carton with orange fruit imagery and a red yogurt container are visible, adding vibrant color contrast to the scene.

Ingredients

1 burrito size flour tortilla
2 tbsp cinnamon cream cheese
1/3 cup fresh blueberries
1 tbsp butter, softened
Cinnamon & sugar, optional

Instructions

Step 1: Spread the cinnamon cream cheese evenly on one side of the flour tortilla.
Step 2: Sprinkle the fresh blueberries over half of the cream cheese-covered side. Fold the tortilla over to cover the blueberries and press down lightly to seal.
Step 3: Spread half of the softened butter on one outside surface of the quesadilla. Flip and spread the remaining butter on the other outside. If desired, sprinkle a generous amount of cinnamon and sugar over the buttered sides for extra sweetness.
Step 4: Heat a skillet over medium heat and grill the quesadilla on each side until it is golden brown and the filling is warmed through, about 2-3 minutes per side.

Tips & Variations

Use mixed berries instead of just blueberries for a more colorful and flavorful filling.
Try adding a drizzle of honey or maple syrup inside before folding for extra sweetness.
For a dairy-free option, substitute cream cheese with a plant-based spread and use vegan butter.
Serve with a side of Greek yogurt for added protein and creaminess.

Storage

Blueberry breakfast quesadillas are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in a skillet over low heat until warmed through and crispy, or in a toaster oven. Avoid microwaving to maintain crispness.

How to Serve

The image shows a stack of five flat, light golden-brown tortillas with a soft, slightly crisp texture, layered on a wooden board lined with white parchment paper. The second layer from the top reveals a filling of creamy peanut butter brownish in color, dotted evenly with dark, round blueberries that peek out from the sides. The top tortilla is sprinkled lightly with a fine cinnamon powder, giving it a speckled light brown dusting. In the background, there are blurry round dark brown sausage patties placed on a white plate set against a white marbled surface. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I use frozen blueberries for this recipe?

Yes, you can use frozen blueberries. Just be sure to thaw and drain them well to avoid adding extra moisture that can make the quesadilla soggy.

Can this quesadilla be made ahead of time?

You can assemble the quesadilla in advance and refrigerate it for a few hours, but it’s best to cook it just before serving to maintain the crispy texture.

2 tbsp Cinnamon Cream Cheese
1/3 cup Fresh Blueberries
1 tbsp Butter, Softened
Cinnamon & Sugar, Optional

Instructions

Prepare the Tortilla: Spread 2 tablespoons of cinnamon cream cheese evenly on one side of the flour tortilla, ensuring a smooth layer for the filling to adhere to.
Add Blueberries and Fold: Sprinkle 1/3 cup of fresh blueberries over half the tortilla. Carefully fold the other half over the blueberries, pressing lightly to seal the edges.
Butter the Quesadilla: Spread 1/2 tablespoon of softened butter on one outside of the folded quesadilla. Flip it over and spread the remaining 1/2 tablespoon of butter on the other side. Optionally, sprinkle cinnamon and sugar generously over both buttered sides for extra flavor and caramelization.
