Main Ingredients
- 2 Flour Tortillas (soft yet sturdy)
- 1 cup Fresh Blueberries (rinsed and dried)
- 1 cup Shredded Cheese (mozzarella or mild cheddar)
- 1 tablespoon Honey or Maple Syrup (for drizzling)
- 1 tablespoon Butter or Coconut Oil (for cooking)
- Prepare Your Ingredients: Rinse the blueberries thoroughly and pat them dry. Grate your cheese if not pre-shredded. Have honey or maple syrup ready for drizzling. Warm your butter or coconut oil to facilitate cooking.
- Assemble the Quesadilla: Lay one tortilla flat on a clean surface. Evenly sprinkle shredded cheese over half of the tortilla, then scatter fresh blueberries on top of the cheese. Drizzle lightly with honey or maple syrup. Fold the tortilla over to create a half-moon shape.
- Cook to Golden Perfection: Heat a skillet over medium heat and add butter or coconut oil. Place the folded quesadilla in the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the tortilla is golden brown and the cheese is melted and gooey.
- Slice and Serve: Remove the quesadilla from the pan and place it on a cutting board. Let it cool briefly, then slice into wedges for easy serving. Optionally garnish with powdered sugar or Greek yogurt.
Notes
- Use medium-low heat to ensure cheese melts without burning the tortilla.
- Do not overfill with blueberries and cheese to avoid leakage during cooking.
- Fresh blueberries give the best texture and flavor balance.
- Try browned butter for a richer, nuttier taste.
- Serve warm directly from the skillet for optimal melty texture.
