Description
Imagine a crisp morning, the smell of freshly brewed coffee filling your kitchen, and a warm, gooey quesadilla filled with the bright sweetness of blueberries waiting for you. This Blueberry Breakfast Quesadilla is the perfect way to start your day! Whether you’re looking for a quick weekday breakfast or a cozy weekend brunch idea, this recipe has you covered.

Ingredients
Scale
- 2 medium-sized whole wheat tortillas
- ¼ cup plain Greek yogurt
- ½ cup fresh blueberries
- 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon almond butter (optional)
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.
Notes
- This recipe is best enjoyed fresh, but you can assemble the quesadilla ahead of time and cook it when ready to eat.
- If you prefer a sweeter filling, mix a small amount of vanilla extract into the yogurt.
