What makes these quesadillas a great breakfast choice?

Blueberry Breakfast Quesadillas offer a delightful combination of sweet, creamy, and satisfying flavors. They are quick to prepare, making them perfect for busy weekdays or a relaxed weekend brunch.

Can I use frozen blueberries for this recipe?

Yes, absolutely! If using frozen blueberries, it's best to thaw them first and gently pat them dry to remove any excess moisture. This will prevent your quesadillas from becoming watery.

What are some ways to customize my blueberry breakfast quesadillas?

You can easily customize these quesadillas! Try adding a pinch of cinnamon or vanilla extract to the cream cheese mixture, or sprinkle in some lemon zest for a brighter flavor. A handful of chopped nuts like pecans or walnuts can add a nice crunch.

How do I store and reheat leftover breakfast quesadillas?

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days. To reheat, warm them in a dry skillet over medium-low heat until heated through and slightly crispy. You can also microwave them for a quicker option, though they may not retain their crispness.

Instructions

Step 1: In a small bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and granulated sugar. Mix until smooth and well combined.
Step 2: Spread an even layer of the cream cheese mixture over one half of each flour tortilla.
Step 3: Distribute the fresh or thawed blueberries evenly over the cream cheese on both tortillas.
Step 4: Fold the other half of each tortilla over the filling, creating a half-moon shape.
Step 5: Melt the butter in a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium-low heat.
Step 6: Place the folded quesadillas in the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and the filling is warm and slightly gooey. Gently press down with a spatula to ensure even browning.
Step 7: Remove from heat, slice into wedges, and serve immediately with your favorite toppings like maple syrup or powdered sugar.

Notes

For an extra touch, add a pinch of cinnamon or a few drops of vanilla extract to the cream cheese mixture. Ensure your cream cheese is soft for easy spreading.
