Pro Tips and Variations

• Use fresh blueberries for best results. Frozen blueberries will release too much juice and make the quesadilla messy.
• Don’t overfill – too many blueberries will spill out during cooking.
• Change it up – try strawberries, raspberries, or peaches with flavored cream cheeses like strawberry or honey pecan.

Serving Suggestions

• Pair with a drizzle of honey or maple syrup for added sweetness.
• Serve with a side of yogurt and granola for a balanced breakfast.
• Enjoy as a snack or light dessert with a dusting of powdered sugar.

Storage/Reheating

• Best eaten immediately.
• Not ideal for make-ahead or freezing, as the blueberries will release juice and make the quesadilla soggy.

Notes

• Fresh fruit works best in this recipe.
• Adjust sweetness with a drizzle of honey if desired.
