How to make Berry Bliss Breakfast Quesadillas
Step 1: Prepare the filling
In a small bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, blueberries, honey, and vanilla extract. Mix well to combine.
Step 2: Assemble the quesadillas
Spread the ricotta cheese mixture evenly over one half of each tortilla.
Step 3: Fold and cook
Fold the other half of the tortilla over the filling to create a quesadilla.
Step 4: Cook the quesadillas
Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Place the quesadillas in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
Chef’s Tip: Keep an eye on the heat to prevent the tortillas from burning. Adjust the heat as needed.
Step 5: Serve
Remove from skillet and let cool slightly before slicing into wedges and serving.
Tips for Success
- Use a non-stick skillet to prevent the quesadillas from sticking.
- Don’t overcrowd the skillet. Cook the quesadillas one at a time for even browning.

- Use fresh, high-quality ricotta cheese for the best flavor.
