# Instructions:
01 -
In a medium bowl, combine 1/2 cup softened cream cheese, 1 cup fresh blueberries, 1 tbsp maple syrup, 1 tbsp light brown sugar, 1/2 tsp vanilla extract, 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Mix gently until just combined, being careful not to crush all the blueberries for your Quick Blueberry Breakfast Quesadilla Recipe.
02 -
Lay 2 of the 4 (8-inch) whole wheat tortillas flat. Evenly spread half of the blueberry-cream cheese mixture over each tortilla, leaving a small border around the edges. This forms the delicious base for your Quick Blueberry Breakfast Quesadilla Recipe.
03 -
Place the remaining 2 (8-inch) whole wheat tortillas on top of the filled tortillas, creating two quesadillas. Gently press down to seal the edges slightly. This readies them for cooking into a perfect Quick Blueberry Breakfast Quesadilla Recipe.
04 -
Heat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add 1 tbsp unsalted butter and let it melt and coat the pan. Carefully place one assembled quesadilla into the hot skillet.
05 -
Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the bottom tortilla is golden brown and slightly crispy. Keep an eye on the heat to prevent burning. This initial browning is key for the texture of your Quick Blueberry Breakfast Quesadilla Recipe.
06 -
Carefully flip the quesadilla using a wide spatula. Cook for another 2-3 minutes on the second side, until golden brown and the filling is warm. Repeat with the second quesadilla, adding more butter if needed.
07 -
Remove the cooked quesadillas from the skillet. Slice each quesadilla into wedges. Sprinkle with 1/2 tsp lemon zest, 1/4 cup chopped pecans, and dust with 1 tbsp powdered sugar before serving immediately.
# Notes:
01 -
For extra gooeyness, you can cover the skillet for the last minute of cooking on each side to help the cream cheese melt more thoroughly.
02 -
No fresh blueberries? Frozen blueberries work too! Just thaw them slightly and pat dry before mixing to prevent excess moisture.
03 -
These quesadillas are fantastic on their own, but a side of extra maple syrup or a dollop of Greek yogurt makes them even more decadent.
04 -
While best enjoyed fresh, leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days and reheated gently in a skillet or microwave.
