If you haven’t had a sweet quesadilla breakfast before, you’re in for a real treat. My favorite is the Blueberry Breakfast Quesadilla Delight. It shows up when you want something comforting but feel slightly indulgent in making it- quick and easy. I enjoy preparing this when I’m craving something warm with fruity sweetness and ooey-gooey- just the right thing for a busy morning or a relaxed weekend brunch.

What is Blueberry Breakfast Quesadilla Delight All About?

Like the Blueberry Breakfast Quesadilla Delight, it is fun to have its own spin on a traditional quesadilla. No cheese and savory fillings used here- the fresh blueberries are a must, along with creamy cheese (or cream cheese), a drizzle of honey or syrup…it’s up to you. The tortilla becomes golden and crispy while the inside warms up to melting sweetness. Crunchy on the outside and juicy-sweet on the inside, like a handheld blueberry pie!

Ingredients

For the quesadilla

2 medium flour tortillas
½ cup fresh blueberries
2 tbsp cream cheese (or mascarpone)
1 tbsp honey or maple syrup
1 tsp butter

Optional extras

Pinch of cinnamon
Powdered sugar for dusting
Extra honey or syrup for serving

Instructions

Spread cream cheese on one of the tortillas.
Scatter the blueberries over one of them. Drizzle the honey and sprinkle the cinnamon if you want.
Cover with the second one to make a tortilla filling.
Heat the butter in a skillet; fry the quesadilla for 2-3 minutes per side until crisped and golden.
To serve, cut into slices and dust with sugar or syrup if desired.

Storage Tips

It is best served fresh, but it can also be stored in the fridge for a day.
You may reheat in a skillet to keep it crispy, but make sure to avoid popping it into the microwave because it basically turns the tortilla into a spongy mess with heat.

Serving Suggestions

Pairs exquisitely with either Greek or whipped cream.
A handful of granola here and there wouldn’t hurt if you’re all about that crunch.
Go for hot coffee or an iced latte as the perfect beverage with your nutritiously balanced breakfast.

Pro Tips

Go for whole wheat tortillas for a healthier kind of Quesadilla.
To heighten sweetness, add chocolate chips.
For some additional smoothness, mix in some vanilla yogurt with the cream cheese to spread.

FAQs

1. Am I allowed to use blueberries from the freezer?

Yeah, just thaw and drain them before putting the quesadilla together, to avoid moisture in it.

2. Can it be done without animal products at all?

Definitely use a dairy-free cream cheese and a dairy-free butter. Instead of honey, use maple syrup or agave.

3. Is it sweet or savory?

This one’s sweet, sprinkled with sharp cheese to jazz it up if you want a sweet-savory.

4. Can I prepare this as a meal?

It’s best fresh, but you can prep the filling and assemble it the morning of for a quicker cook time.
