Ingredients
Scale
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 fresh blueberries thoroughly and pat them dry to avoid excess moisture that can make the quesadilla soggy. Grate or shred your cheese if it’s not pre-shredded and lay the tortillas flat on a clean surface to prepare for assembly.
- Assemble the quesadilla: Place one tortilla on your surface. Evenly sprinkle about half a cup of shredded cheese over half of the tortilla. Then, spread a generous handful of fresh blueberries on top of the cheese. Carefully fold the tortilla over to create a half-moon shape, sealing in the filling.
- Heat and cook: Preheat a non-stick skillet on medium heat and add butter or a splash of oil to the pan. Place the folded quesadilla into the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side. Cook until the tortilla is golden brown and crispy and the cheese inside has melted completely.
- Serve warm: Remove the quesadilla from the skillet and let it rest for one minute. This helps the melted cheese settle, making it easier to handle. Slice the quesadilla into wedges and optionally drizzle with honey or maple syrup for added sweetness before serving.
Notes
- To prevent sogginess, ensure blueberries are well dried before adding.
- You can substitute flour tortillas with whole wheat or gluten-free tortillas if desired.
- Feel free to experiment with different mild cheeses like Monterey Jack or Havarti.
- Adding a drizzle of honey or syrup elevates the sweetness but can be omitted for a less sweet option.
- Serve immediately for the best texture; quesadillas are best enjoyed fresh and warm.
