FAQs
1. Can I use regular tortillas instead of whole wheat?
Yes, you can use regular flour tortillas instead of whole wheat if you prefer.
2. Can I make this ahead of time?
This breakfast quesadilla is best made fresh for the best texture, but you can prepare the fillings ahead of time and assemble the quesadilla in minutes.
3. Can I use frozen blueberries?
Yes, frozen blueberries work well in this recipe. Just be sure to thaw and drain them before adding to avoid excess moisture.
4. Can I use cream cheese alternatives?
Yes, you can substitute cream cheese with Greek yogurt, ricotta, or even a dairy-free cream cheese for a lighter or vegan version.
5. How do I get the quesadilla extra crispy?
To make the quesadilla extra crispy, use a little more butter or coconut oil in the skillet, and cook it on a slightly lower heat to ensure it crisps evenly without burning.
6. Can I add more toppings to this?

7. Can I use other sweeteners instead of honey?
You can use agave syrup, maple syrup, or stevia as an alternative to honey.

9. How do I make the quesadilla fluffier?
For a fluffier texture, you can use whipped cream cheese or lightly beat the Greek yogurt before spreading it.
10. Can I use a different fruit?
You can use any fruit you like! Sliced strawberries, bananas, or peaches would make great alternatives to blueberries.
