Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh blueberries, washed and dried
- 2 medium-sized flour tortillas
- 1 cup shredded mild cheddar or mozzarella cheese
- 1 tablespoon butter or oil for toasting
- Optional: Drizzle of honey or maple syrup
Instructions
- Prepare your ingredients: Wash the blueberries thoroughly and pat them dry to prevent sogginess. Grate or shred your cheese if not pre-shredded and lay your tortillas on a clean surface.
- Assemble the quesadilla: Lay one tortilla flat. Sprinkle a generous layer of shredded cheese over half of it, then evenly spread a handful of fresh blueberries on top. Fold the tortilla over to form a half-moon shape.
- Heat and cook: Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Melt butter or add a splash of oil. Place the quesadilla in the skillet and cook 2-3 minutes per side, until the tortilla is golden brown and crispy and the cheese inside is fully melted.
- Serve warm: Remove from heat and let the quesadilla rest for one minute before slicing into wedges, ensuring the melted cheese remains contained for easy handling.
Notes
- Use fresh, dry blueberries to avoid excess moisture making the quesadilla soggy.
- Don’t overload with berries or cheese to maintain an easy fold and flip.
- Cook on medium heat to melt cheese evenly without burning the tortilla.
- Butter adds richness and crispness; oil gives a lighter toast—choose as preferred.
- Experiment with cheeses like gouda, cream cheese, or ricotta for different flavors.
