Ingredients
Scale
Tortilla
- 1 large flour tortilla or whole wheat tortilla for extra fiber
Filling
- 2–3 tablespoons cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup fresh blueberries (frozen blueberries, thawed, also work)
- 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
- 1 pinch cinnamon
For Cooking
- Cooking spray or butter for crisping
Instructions
- Prepare the Filling: In a small bowl, mix the softened cream cheese with a pinch of cinnamon and honey or maple syrup if using, then gently fold in the fresh blueberries to create a creamy, fruity filling.
- Assemble the Quesadilla: Spread the cream cheese and blueberry mixture evenly over one half of the tortilla. Fold the tortilla over to cover the filling, creating a half-moon shape.
- Heat the Pan: Lightly spray a skillet or griddle with cooking spray or melt a small amount of butter over medium heat to prevent sticking and enhance crispness.
- Cook the Quesadilla: Place the folded quesadilla in the heated pan. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the tortilla is golden brown and crispy, and the filling is warmed through. Press gently with a spatula for even cooking.
- Serve: Remove from heat, let cool slightly, then slice into wedges and serve warm for the best taste and texture.
Notes
- For a healthier option, use a whole wheat tortilla to add fiber.
- If using frozen blueberries, ensure they are fully thawed and drained to avoid sogginess.
- Adjust sweetness by adding more or less honey or maple syrup according to taste.
- Adding a sprinkle of powdered sugar or a drizzle of extra honey on top before serving enhances the flavor.
- This recipe can be adapted to other fruits like strawberries or peaches depending on preference.
