• 1 cup fresh blueberries
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1 tablespoon honey (optional, for drizzling)
• Fresh cilantro for garnish

Instructions

2. Step 2: Place one tortilla in a skillet over medium heat, butter side down.
3. Step 3: Sprinkle half of the tortilla with shredded cheese, then evenly top with fresh blueberries.
4. Step 4: Fold the tortilla in half and cook for 2–3 minutes on each side until golden brown and the cheese has melted.
5. Step 5: Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas.
6. Step 6: Slice each quesadilla into wedges, drizzle with honey if desired, and garnish with fresh cilantro before serving.

Tips & Variations

• Try adding a sprinkle of cinnamon or a few chopped nuts inside for extra texture and warmth.
• Use other soft cheeses like cream cheese or ricotta for a creamier filling.
• For a vegan option, substitute butter with coconut oil and use dairy-free cheese alternatives.
• Serve with a side of Greek yogurt or maple syrup for added richness.

Storage

Store leftover quesadillas in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in a skillet over low heat to maintain crispiness or microwave briefly, though they may become softer. It’s best to enjoy them fresh for optimal texture.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.
