The smell of cinnamon warming in the pan takes me back to chilly mornings before school. I’d wrap up in a blanket, waiting for something sweet and toasty to hit the plate. This blueberry breakfast quesadilla gives off that same kind of cozy warm, lightly crisped, and just sweet enough to feel like a treat.

How to Make a Blueberry Breakfast Quesadilla
Step-by-Step Instructions
Lay the tortilla flat on a clean surface.
Spread the creamy cheese on one half of the tortilla.
Top that half with fresh blueberries.
Sprinkle a light pinch of cinnamon over the berries.
Fold the tortilla over to close.
Spray a skillet with non-stick spray and heat over medium.
Cook the quesadilla for 2 to 3 minutes per side until crisp and golden.
Slice and serve warm while the berries are juicy.
Quick Tips for Success
Use medium heat so the outside crisps slowly while the cheese melts. Avoid high heat, or the tortilla will brown too fast. If using frozen blueberries, thaw and pat them dry first. That helps avoid a soggy center. For extra flavor, try a cinnamon-sugar sprinkle or a thin layer of almond butter under the cheese.

Each quesadilla comes in around 155 calories with 6 grams of protein and 3 grams of fiber. It’s light but satisfying—perfect for breakfast or a midday snack. It’s also low in sugar, with just 6 grams, most of which come from the fruit.
Recipe Variations & Add-Ons
You can easily mix this up based on what’s in your kitchen. Add banana slices for a little extra sweetness and fiber. A drizzle of honey adds warmth and shine. Almond butter gives it a nutty depth and boosts protein. Using frozen blueberries? Just thaw and drain them first to keep the texture crisp.
