# Instructions:
01 -
Combine 4 oz softened cream cheese, 1 tbsp powdered sugar, and 1/2 tsp vanilla extract in a small bowl. Mix until smooth and creamy. This forms the delightful base for your Blueberry Breakfast Quesadilla – Quick & Sweet.
02 -
In another bowl, gently toss 1 cup fresh blueberries with 1 tbsp maple syrup, 1 tsp fresh lemon juice, 1/2 tsp cornstarch, and 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon. The cornstarch will help thicken the filling slightly as it cooks.
03 -
Spread the prepared cream cheese mixture evenly over two of the 4 (6-inch) flour tortillas, leaving a small border. This creamy layer is crucial for your Blueberry Breakfast Quesadilla – Quick & Sweet.
04 -
Spoon half of the blueberry filling over the cream cheese on each of the two tortillas. Place the remaining two 6-inch flour tortillas on top, gently pressing down to create two quesadillas.
05 -
Melt 1 tbsp unsalted butter in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Carefully place one or two quesadillas in the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown and the filling is warm. Repeat for remaining quesadilla.
06 -
Transfer the cooked Blueberry Breakfast Quesadilla – Quick & Sweet to a cutting board. Slice each into wedges. Dust with 1 tbsp powdered sugar and drizzle with 1 tbsp maple syrup. Garnish with fresh mint leaves, if desired, for a beautiful presentation.
# Notes:
01 -
Substitution Tip: No fresh blueberries? Frozen blueberries work too! Just don't thaw them first; toss them directly with the other filling ingredients.
02 -
Quick Softening: To quickly soften cream cheese, unwrap it and microwave on high for 10-15 seconds until pliable.
03 -
Serving Suggestion: For an extra treat, serve these quesadillas with a dollop of whipped cream or a side of Greek yogurt.
04 -
Storage: These quesadillas are best enjoyed fresh. If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 day and reheat gently.
