Let the kids start their morning with a fun and healthy twist! This kid-friendly blueberry breakfast quesadilla is easy to make and perfect for picky eaters!
Jump to:
This is an engaging and entertaining dish to get the kids involved in the kitchen and start their culinary adventure. Encourage the kid to fold the tortilla, spread cheese, arrange blueberries and drizzle maple syrup.
Cooking with kids may seem fun, but you must prioritise their safety first. If you believe they are capable of handling the sandwich maker, only older kids should be allowed to use it and keep little ones away from it while it is in use.
You should supervise children while they use the sandwich maker. For more details, check out the recipe and safety disclaimer.
Ingredients
- Spread: I used soft cheese but feel free to use cream cheese or greek yogurt.
- Fruit: Frozen blueberries are the best choice as they tend to release less moisture than fresh ones, helping keep the tortilla crispy.
- Flatbread: We used wholemeal tortilla but feel free to use any tortilla of your choice.
See the recipe card for quantities.
Step by Step Instructions
Step 1: Place the tortilla on a wooden board or a plate.
Step 2: Spread a layer of soft cheese all over the tortilla.
Step 3: Now place frozen blueberries over cheese leaving about half an inch of the edge free.
Step 4: Drizzle maple syrup over tortilla.
Step 5: Gently fold the tortilla in half creating half moon shape.
Step 6: Spread butter on top of a tortilla.
Step 7: Heat the sandwich maker and carefully place the stuffed and folded tortilla and toast for 2-3 minutes or until the tortilla turns golden brown and crispy. (only adults and older kids must do it).
Remove the quesadilla and transfer it to a wooden board. Let it cool for a minute, then use a sharp knife to cut it into wedges. (only adults must do it)
Serve warm blueberry breakfast quesadilla with toppings like date caramel sauce or blueberry coulis for extra indulgence.
Hint: When placing the blueberries on the tortilla, leave a little space at the edge to prevent them from spilling out while cooking.
Substitutions and Variations
Nut Butter: Try peanut butter or almond butter on the tortilla instead of soft cheese. This adds a creamy and nutty flavour.
Nuts and Seeds: Use almonds or pecans instead of walnuts over the chocolate and banana filling. Try pumpkin seeds or melon seeds for extra crunch.
Gluten Free Option: Use gluten-free tortillas to make the quesadillas gluten-free.
Storage
Blueberry quesadillas taste best right after preparing them. Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to one day, but the flavour and texture may change slightly.
Storage: Wrap the leftover quesadilla tightly with cling wrap, place it in an airtight container, and refrigerate. Be sure to consume within a day.
Reheating: Remove from the fridge, unwrap, and heat in an air fryer or on a stovetop pan over medium heat until warmed through.
Tips and Tricks
Don't Overfill: Be careful not to add too many blueberries to your quesadilla, as it could spill out during cooking.
Use Butter: Brush the tortilla with butter before cooking to enhance the flavour and help achieve a crispy texture.
Cut with a Sharp Knife: Use a sharp knife to cut the quesadilla into wedges for clean cuts without squishing the filling (only adults should do it). Keep sharp knives out of reach of children.
