Ingredients You’ll Need

• 2 small flour tortillas (or whole wheat)
• ¼ cup cream cheese, softened
• 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup (optional)
• ½ cup fresh blueberries
• ½ tsp cinnamon (optional)
• 1 tsp butter or coconut oil (for cooking)

Optional Add-ins:

• Sliced strawberries, raspberries, or bananas
• A sprinkle of granola for crunch
• Nut butter for extra richness
• Powdered sugar for dusting

Tools You’ll Need

• Non-stick skillet or griddle
• Spatula
• Butter knife or spoon
• Small bowl (for mixing)

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Filling
In a small bowl, mix softened cream cheese with honey and cinnamon until smooth and creamy.

Step 2: Assemble the Quesadilla
Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over one tortilla.
Scatter the blueberries evenly across the cream cheese.
Top with the second tortilla to make a sandwich.

Step 3: Cook the Quesadilla
Heat butter or coconut oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Place the quesadilla in the skillet and cook for 2–3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.

Step 4: Slice & Serve
Remove from the pan and let cool slightly.
Slice into wedges and serve warm.
Optional: Dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with extra honey.

Tips for Success
Use Soft Tortillas – They crisp up nicely without cracking.
Don’t Overfill – Too many berries can make it harder to flip.
Cook Over Medium Heat – Prevents burning before the inside is warm.
Seal the Edges – Press slightly around the edges to help everything stay inside.
Serve Fresh – Best enjoyed warm while the cream cheese is melty.

Serving Suggestions
With Yogurt – Add a scoop of vanilla or Greek yogurt on the side.
With Fresh Fruit – Serve with extra berries or a fruit salad.
With Coffee or Tea – A sweet pairing for your morning drink.
As a Dessert – Add a drizzle of chocolate sauce or a scoop of ice cream.

How to Store & Reheat

Storing:
Best eaten fresh, but you can refrigerate leftovers for up to 1 day.

Reheating:
Skillet: Reheat over low heat for 2–3 minutes per side.
Toaster Oven: Crisp at 350°F for 5 minutes.
Microwave: Quick option, but it will be softer rather than crispy.
