• Prep Time: 5 minutes
• Cook Time: 5–7 minutes
• Total Time: 10–12 minutes
• Servings: 2 quesadillas (about 4 servings)

• Nonstick skillet or griddle
• Spatula
• Butter knife or spoon
• Measuring spoons
• Cutting board (optional, for slicing quesadillas)

• 2 large flour tortillas
• 4 oz (½ cup) cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
• 1–2 tbsp honey or maple syrup
• 1 tsp lemon zest (optional, for brightness)
• 1 tsp butter or oil (for the pan)
• Optional toppings: powdered sugar, yogurt, or extra berries

• Tortillas: Use flour tortillas for best flexibility and crisping. Whole wheat adds a nutritious touch.
• Blueberries: Fresh or frozen both work. If using frozen, no need to thaw—just cook a little longer.
• Cream Cheese: Let it soften first for easier spreading. Try whipped cream cheese for extra fluffiness.
• Sweetener: Honey or maple syrup adds a touch of sweetness; adjust to taste.
• Lemon Zest: Optional, but it really elevates the flavor with a hint of citrus.

1. Prep the Filling:
   In a small bowl, mix softened cream cheese with honey (and lemon zest, if using) until smooth.
2. Assemble Quesadillas:
   Lay one tortilla flat and spread half the cream cheese mixture over one half. Sprinkle half the blueberries evenly over the cream cheese. Fold the tortilla in half to close. Repeat for the second quesadilla.
3. Cook:
   Heat butter or oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook each quesadilla for 2–3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crisp, and the filling is warm and gooey.
4. Slice & Serve:
   Let rest for 1 minute, then slice into wedges. Top with extra blueberries, a drizzle of syrup, or a dusting of powdered sugar if desired.
