Ingredients
Scale
Tortillas
- 2 medium-sized flour tortillas
Filling
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 3 tablespoons cream cheese, softened
- 1 tablespoon honey
- ½ teaspoon lemon zest
Toppings & Cooking
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon sugar
- 1 tablespoon butter
Instructions
- Preheat Your Equipment: Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and add a dab of butter to coat the surface evenly, preparing it to cook the quesadilla.
- Combine Ingredients: In a bowl, gently stir together the fresh blueberries, honey, and lemon zest to create a sweet and zesty filling.
- Prepare Your Cooking Vessel: Lightly butter one side of each tortilla to ensure a golden and crispy exterior when cooked.
- Assemble the Dish: Spread the softened cream cheese on the unbuttered side of one tortilla, then spoon the blueberry mixture evenly over the cream cheese. Top with the second tortilla, ensuring the buttered side faces outward.
- Cook to Perfection: Place the assembled quesadilla in the skillet and cook for 2 to 3 minutes on each side. Cook until both sides are golden brown and the filling is warmed through.
- Finishing Touches: During the last minute of cooking, sprinkle cinnamon sugar on both sides of the quesadilla. This adds a sweet crunch and enhances the flavor.
- Serve and Enjoy: Remove the quesadilla from the skillet and let it rest for 1 minute. Slice into wedges and serve warm for a delicious breakfast experience.
Notes
- Use fresh blueberries for the best flavor and texture.
- Make sure the cream cheese is softened to spread easily.
- You can substitute honey with maple syrup for a different sweetness profile.
- Serve with a drizzle of extra honey or a dollop of Greek yogurt for added creaminess.
- Adjust cinnamon sugar quantity to taste or use plain cinnamon if preferred.
- For a healthier version, use whole wheat tortillas and reduced-fat cream cheese.
