This blueberry breakfast quesadilla is a sweet twist on a classic, featuring warm cream cheese, juicy blueberries, and a drizzle of honey or maple syrup tucked inside a golden tortilla. It’s quick to make, full of flavor, and perfect for a cozy morning meal or even a light dessert.
I first tried this quesadilla when I was craving something sweet but simple in the morning. The combination of blueberries and cream cheese melted into the tortilla instantly became one of my go-to breakfasts. It feels like a treat without being complicated at all.
Ingredients
- Large flour tortilla: forms the crispy, golden base
- Fresh blueberries: burst with juicy sweetness when warmed
- Honey or maple syrup: adds a natural touch of sweetness
- Cream cheese (softened): creamy filling that holds everything together
- Cinnamon: adds warmth and enhances flavor
- Cooking spray or butter: helps crisp the tortilla and prevent sticking
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Prepare the Tortilla:
- Lay the tortilla flat on a plate or clean surface. Spread softened cream cheese evenly over half of it.
- Add the Filling:
- Sprinkle fresh blueberries evenly over the cream cheese. Drizzle with honey or maple syrup and add a pinch of cinnamon.
- Fold and Cook:
- Fold the tortilla in half to enclose the filling. Heat a skillet over medium heat and lightly coat with cooking spray or butter. Cook the quesadilla for 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown and crisp.
- Slice and Serve:
- Remove from the skillet and let cool slightly. Slice into wedges and serve warm, optionally with extra honey or syrup for dipping.

You Must Know
I love how quick and versatile this recipe is. Sometimes I swap the blueberries for strawberries or add a little nut butter for extra richness. It’s one of those breakfasts that feels indulgent without much effort.
Storage Tips
This quesadilla is best fresh, but you can refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 1 day. Reheat in a skillet for a few minutes to bring back the crispiness. Freezing is not recommended as the cream cheese may change texture.
Ingredient Substitutions
Swap blueberries for raspberries, strawberries, or sliced bananas. Try flavored cream cheese for a twist, or replace cream cheese with Greek yogurt for a lighter option. You can even add a sprinkle of granola inside for crunch.

Serving Suggestions
Serve with extra honey, maple syrup, or even a dusting of powdered sugar. Pair with a hot cup of coffee or tea for adults, or a glass of cold milk for kids. It also works as a fun after-school snack.
