Looking for a breakfast that's quick, satisfying, and a little bit indulgent? This Peanut Butter and Berry Breakfast Quesadilla is just the thing. It's a delightful twist on a classic with a balance of creamy, fruity, and crunchy textures that will brighten up your mornings.
Whole-grain tortillas: These add a hearty texture and extra fiber to your breakfast, making it both satisfying and nutritious.
Creamy peanut butter: Offers a rich, nutty flavor and protein, helping to keep you full longer. Choose a natural variety for fewer added sugars.
Fresh mixed berries: A colorful mix of strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries offers natural sweetness and a burst of antioxidants.
Honey: Just a drizzle adds a touch of natural sweetness that complements the tartness of the berries.
Butter: Used to toast the quesadilla to golden perfection, adding a subtle richness.
Pair this quesadilla with a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice for a refreshing start to your day. It also goes wonderfully with a dollop of Greek yogurt on the side for extra creaminess.
Start by laying out your two tortillas on a clean surface. Take the peanut butter and spread half of it evenly over one side of each tortilla. You want a nice, even layer — not too thick, just enough to coat the surface.
Next, grab your mixed berries. Scatter them over the peanut butter on one of the tortillas. Try to spread them out evenly so every bite gets a bit of that juicy berry goodness. Drizzle the honey over the berries to add a hint of sweetness.
Place the second tortilla on top, peanut butter side down, to sandwich the berries in between. Now you've got a loaded quesadilla ready for toasting.
Heat up a skillet over medium heat and add the butter. Let it melt completely, then gently place the quesadilla in the skillet. Cook it for about 2-3 minutes on each side. You're aiming for a golden-brown color and for the tortillas to be heated through.
Once done, carefully remove the quesadilla from the skillet. Let it cool for a minute or two — this makes slicing easier and safer. Cut it into wedges and serve while still warm.
