Waking up to the scent of this warm Blueberry Breakfast Quesadilla is always a good start to my day. With just three ingredients and a few minutes, you end up with a crispy on the outside, oozy on the inside breakfast you can eat with your hands. The creamy cinnamon cheese melts perfectly into sweet berries for something quick and unfussy but full of flavor.
I started making this on rushed mornings when I wanted something more exciting than cereal but did not want to dirty half the kitchen. Now it is a staple for busy mornings or lazy weekends.
Ingredients
- Large light tortilla or Flatout wrap: This is the perfect canvas for folding and crisps up wonderfully Plus lighter versions keep breakfast feeling light
- The Laughing Cow Cream Cheese Spread Cinnamon Cream: Brings creamy sweetness and spice to each bite If you cannot find cinnamon cream cheese use plain with a sprinkle of cinnamon
- Frozen blueberries: Use frozen berries for convenience and a burst of flavor When picking frozen berries look for ones with no added sugar and a deep color for best taste
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Warm the Pan:
- Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-high to get a nice golden crust without burning your wrap Let it preheat fully for even cooking
- Prepare the Quesadilla:
- Spread a generous layer of The Laughing Cow Cream Cheese Spread Cinnamon Cream across half of the tortilla Make sure to go nearly to the edges so every bite is creamy Layer the frozen blueberries evenly over the cheese pressing in lightly to help them stay put
- Heat the Skillet:
- Coat your pan lightly with nonstick spray You want just enough to prevent sticking but not so much that the quesadilla gets soggy
- Fold and Grill:
- Fold the tortilla over so you have a half-moon shape Press it gently to seal Place it in the skillet Grill each side about two minutes until the bread is crispy and dark golden brown and the berries are warmed through and juicy The cheese will melt perfectly inside
- Slice and Serve:
- Move the quesadilla to a cutting board Let it cool for a minute so the blueberry juice does not burn your fingers Slice into wedges and enjoy the crisp crust and creamy berry filling

The frozen blueberries are my favorite part They pop as they heat up and turn so jammy inside the quesadilla Once my little one tried this she asked for it every weekend and now she helps pat the berries onto the cheese before I fold it
Storage Tips
This quesadilla is best eaten fresh as the tortilla loses its crispness if held too long If you do want to make ahead you can prep and wrap in foil then toast briefly the next morning in your skillet to re-crisp
Ingredient Substitutions
If you cannot find the cinnamon flavored cream cheese plain works fine Just dust a little ground cinnamon over the cheese before adding the berries You can use any creamy spread and swap in strawberries or raspberries for a change
Serving Suggestions
Pair this with a hot cup of coffee or a glass of milk for a complete breakfast You could even cut it into smaller triangles and serve as a fun brunch finger food
