Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 flour tortillas (soft but sturdy)
  • 1/2 cup fresh blueberries (washed and patted dry)
  • 3/4 cup shredded mozzarella or Monterey Jack cheese
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon butter or cooking spray (for browning)

Optional Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons chopped pecans or walnuts (for crunch)
  • Cooked crumbled bacon or sausage (for added protein)
  • Dairy-free cheese and plant-based butter (for vegan version)
  • Nut butter (almond or peanut, for spreading)
  • Pinch of nutmeg or cardamom (for spice variation)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Wash the blueberries gently and pat them dry. Grate the cheese if it’s not pre-shredded, and have your cinnamon and honey or maple syrup ready for quick assembly.
  2. Assemble the Quesadilla: Lay one tortilla flat and sprinkle an even layer of shredded cheese over half of it. Add a handful of fresh blueberries on top of the cheese, then lightly dust with cinnamon and drizzle honey or maple syrup to enhance sweetness.
  3. Fold and Cook: Fold the tortilla over the filling to create a half-moon shape. Heat a skillet over medium heat and add butter or cooking spray. Place the quesadilla in the skillet and cook until golden brown and crispy on one side, about 3-4 minutes. Flip and cook the other side similarly until crisp and cheese is melted.
  4. Serve Warm: Remove the quesadilla from the skillet and let it cool slightly before slicing into wedges. Enjoy immediately while the cheese is gooey and the tortilla is perfectly crunchy.

Notes

  • Do not overload the filling to avoid sogginess or difficulty flipping.
  • Use medium heat to ensure the cheese melts evenly without burning the tortilla.
  • Press gently with a spatula when cooking to promote even browning and ingredient melding.
  • Experiment with cheeses like cheddar or mild gouda for varied flavors.
  • Use fresh blueberries for best flavor; frozen blueberries can be used if thawed and drained.
