Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 2 soft flour tortillas
- 1/2 cup fresh blueberries
- 3/4 cup shredded mild cheddar or mozzarella cheese (or cream cheese)
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon butter or cooking spray for frying
Instructions
- Gather Your Ingredients: Lay out all your ingredients on the counter so you have everything ready before cooking. This makes the process smooth and enjoyable.
- Prepare the Filling: In a bowl, gently toss the fresh blueberries with cinnamon and honey or maple syrup to sweeten and add warmth to the mixture.
- Assemble the Quesadilla: Place a tortilla flat on a surface and evenly sprinkle a generous layer of shredded cheese over half of it. Top the cheese with the blueberry mixture, then fold the tortilla over to create a half-moon shape.
- Cook the Quesadilla: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat, add butter or spray with cooking spray, then place the folded quesadilla in the pan. Cook about 3-4 minutes per side until the tortilla is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
- Serve Warm: Transfer the cooked quesadilla to a cutting board, slice into wedges, and serve immediately to enjoy the warm, gooey, fruity goodness.
Notes
- Use fresh, not frozen blueberries for better flavor and to avoid excess moisture.
- Don’t overload with blueberries to prevent sogginess; keep the filling balanced.
- Cook on low to medium heat to get a crispy exterior without burning or under-melting the cheese.
- Try different cheeses like brie or mascarpone for a creamier flavor.
- Let the quesadilla rest briefly after cooking for easier slicing and better flavor melding.
