Ingredients
Scale
- 4 flour or whole wheat tortillas
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or cream cheese spread)

- Optional: 2 scrambled eggs
- Optional: 2 slices cooked bacon or sausage, crumbled
- 1–2 tsp honey, for drizzling
- ½ tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tbsp butter or oil for cooking
Instructions
- Prepare fillings: shred cheese, cook eggs or bacon if using, and pat blueberries dry.
- Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil.
- Place one tortilla in the skillet. Sprinkle cheese over half of the tortilla, then top with blueberries and any optional fillings.

- Remove from skillet, slice into wedges, and drizzle with honey or sprinkle with cinnamon.
- Serve warm with yogurt, fresh fruit, or maple syrup for dipping.
Notes

- For a sweeter version, try adding sliced bananas, strawberries, or Nutella.
- Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze cooked/un-cooked quesadillas for up to 3 months.
- Reheat in a skillet for 2–3 minutes or microwave for 30–45 seconds.
