How to Make Blueberry Breakfast Quesadilla
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Prepare Your Filling
Start by mixing the plain Greek yogurt with honey or maple syrup in a small bowl. Add a sprinkle of cinnamon for a warm, comforting flavor boost. This creamy base is the perfect pairing for the tart burst of fresh blueberries. - Spread and Layer
Take one tortilla and spread a thin, even layer of the yogurt mixture across its surface. If you’re using almond butter, spread a small amount on top of the yogurt. - Add the Blueberries
Scatter the fresh blueberries across the yogurt-covered tortilla. Be sure to distribute them evenly so you get a juicy pop of flavor in every bite. - Top with the Second Tortilla
Gently press the second tortilla on top, creating a quesadilla “sandwich.” - Cook It Up
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Place the quesadilla on the skillet and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the tortillas are golden brown and slightly crispy. - Slice and Serve
Transfer the quesadilla to a cutting board and let it cool for a minute. Slice it into quarters or eighths and serve warm. For an extra touch, drizzle with a little more honey or dust with powdered cinnamon.
Helpful Tips
- Tortilla Choice: Whole wheat tortillas add extra fiber, but you can use gluten-free or regular tortillas based on your preference.
- Berry Variations: Feel free to use other fruits like raspberries, blackberries, or thinly sliced peaches.
- Crispiness Hack: For an extra crispy finish, brush a little melted butter or coconut oil on the outside of the tortillas before cooking.
- Serving Suggestion: Pair with a side of scrambled eggs or a fresh fruit salad for a balanced breakfast.
