Based on the image, these are sweet breakfast quesadillas made with a low-carb/keto tortilla, cream cheese, and blueberries, toasted in a skillet until the tortilla is golden and the filling is warm and creamy.
The image lists the basic ingredients as 1 keto tortilla, 2 oz cream cheese, and 2 tbsp blueberries. I’ve expanded that into a complete, practical recipe while keeping those proportions.
Yield
1 large quesadilla / 1 serving
Prep: 5 minutes
Cook: 5–7 minutes
Total: 10–12 minutes
Ingredients
Main ingredients
1 large keto/low-carb tortilla — about 8 inches / 20 cm
2 oz (56 g) cream cheese, softened
2 tbsp (30 g) fresh blueberries
1 tsp butter for the pan
For a sweet breakfast version
1–2 tsp powdered erythritol/monk-fruit sweetener, to taste
¼ tsp vanilla extract
⅛ tsp ground cinnamon
Tiny pinch of salt
Optional toppings
Extra fresh blueberries
1–2 tbsp Greek yogurt
Sugar-free maple syrup
Powdered keto sweetener
Chia seeds
A few chopped pecans or walnuts
Lemon zest
For the closest version to the photograph: use the cream cheese, blueberries, vanilla and a little sweetener. The image appears to have a very creamy filling rather than a firm cheese filling.
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Prepare the cream cheese filling
Place 56 g / 2 oz softened cream cheese in a small bowl.
Add:
1–2 tsp sweetener
¼ tsp vanilla
⅛ tsp cinnamon
tiny pinch of salt
Mix until completely smooth.
Tip
If your cream cheese is cold, microwave it for about 5–10 seconds. Don’t make it hot; you only want it soft enough to spread.
2. Prepare the blueberries
Use approximately 2 tablespoons / 30 g blueberries.
You can use them whole, but for a filling that looks more like the photograph:
Put the blueberries in a small bowl.
Crush about ⅓–½ of them gently with a fork.
Leave the remaining berries whole.
This creates a mixture of blueberry pieces and purple juice that melts into the cream cheese.
Optional
For a sweeter, thicker blueberry filling, cook the blueberries for 1–2 minutes in a small pan with:
½ tsp sweetener
1 tsp water
Mash lightly.
Let them cool for a minute before adding them to the cream cheese.
3. Assemble the quesadilla
Place the keto tortilla on a plate.
Spread the cream cheese mixture over one half of the tortilla.
Leave approximately 1 cm / ½ inch around the edge.
Scatter the blueberries over the cream cheese.
Fold the tortilla in half to form a semicircle.
Press gently around the edges.
Important
Don’t overfill it.
Cream cheese becomes very soft when heated, and too much filling will squeeze out of the tortilla.
4. Cook
Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat.
Add approximately 1 tsp butter.
Place the folded quesadilla in the pan.
Cook for approximately:
2–3 minutes on the first side
until golden brown.
Carefully flip.
Cook another:
2–3 minutes
until the second side is golden and the cream cheese is warm and soft.
If the tortilla is browning too quickly, reduce the heat.
5. Rest and serve
Transfer to a plate.
Let it rest for 1–2 minutes.
Cut into 2 or 3 pieces.
The filling should be:
warm + creamy + slightly melted, with blueberry juice running through the cream cheese.
Top with fresh blueberries.
🫐 How to Make It Look Like the Picture
The photograph has a particularly generous filling.
For a more dramatic, restaurant-style quesadilla, use:
1 large keto tortilla
2½–3 oz cream cheese
¼ cup blueberries
1–2 tsp keto sweetener
¼ tsp vanilla
Spread the cream cheese fairly thickly and distribute the blueberries throughout it.
Don’t cook over high heat—the tortilla will burn before the filling becomes warm.
Optional Blueberry Compote
If you want a much stronger blueberry flavor, make this quick filling.
Ingredients
¼ cup blueberries
1 tsp sweetener
1 tsp water
½ tsp lemon juice
Tiny pinch of cinnamon
Method
Put everything in a small saucepan.
Cook over medium-low heat for 2–3 minutes.
Crush some of the berries.
Stop when the mixture becomes glossy and slightly syrupy.
Cool for 2–3 minutes.
Spoon over the cream cheese before folding the tortilla.
This produces the purple blueberry streaks visible in the picture. Nutrition Information
The exact nutrition depends on the brand of keto tortilla and cream cheese, so the following is an estimate based on:
1 keto tortilla
56 g regular full-fat cream cheese
30 g blueberries
1 tsp butter
small amount of zero-calorie sweetener
Approximate nutrition per quesadilla
Nutrient Approx. amount
Calories 300–350 kcal
Protein 9–12 g
Total fat 24–28 g
Saturated fat 10–14 g
Total carbohydrates 15–20 g
Fiber 8–12 g
Net carbs 5–9 g
Sugars 5–7 g
Sodium 500–750 mg
Cholesterol 45–65 mg
Why is the carb count variable?
“Keto tortilla” is not a standardized product. Some have only 2–3 g net carbs while others have considerably more.
Check the tortilla’s nutrition label for the most accurate calculation.
Nut Information / Allergens
Is this recipe nut-free?
Yes, the basic recipe contains no tree nuts or peanuts.
However, some keto tortillas may contain:
almond flour
coconut flour
almond protein
other nut ingredients
So check the tortilla package.
Main allergens
The standard recipe contains:
Milk/dairy — cream cheese and butter
Depending on the tortilla, it may also contain:
wheat
soy
eggs
nuts
Nut-free substitution
If you need a completely nut-free keto version, choose a nut-free low-carb tortilla and verify the manufacturer’s allergen statement.
Is It Gluten-Free?
Not automatically.
“Keto” or “low-carb” does not necessarily mean gluten-free.
Use a tortilla specifically labeled gluten-free if necessary.
Dairy-Free Version
You can make a dairy-free version with:
dairy-free cream cheese
vegan butter or coconut oil
dairy-free low-carb tortilla
The flavor and melting characteristics will vary by product.
Egg-Free Version
The filling itself is egg-free.
The tortilla may contain egg, however, so check the label if you need a completely egg-free recipe.
Recipe Q&A
Can I use frozen blueberries?
Yes.
Don’t thaw them completely first. Use them frozen or partially thawed so they don’t release excessive water into the cream cheese.
You may need another 1–2 minutes of cooking.
Can I use strawberries instead?
Absolutely.
Finely chopped strawberries work very well.
You can also use:
raspberries
blackberries
strawberries + blueberries
cherries
Can I use cottage cheese?
Yes, but it won’t have the same smooth texture.
For a smoother filling, blend:
2 oz cottage cheese + 1 tsp sweetener + ¼ tsp vanilla
until creamy.
Can I use mascarpone?
Yes.
Mascarpone makes the filling richer and creamier but also increases the calories and fat.
A 50/50 mixture of mascarpone and cream cheese is excellent.
Can I use regular tortillas?
Yes.
If you’re not following a low-carb diet, a regular flour tortilla works perfectly.
The result will be softer and slightly more bread-like.
Can I use naan?
You can, but it becomes more like a sweet stuffed flatbread than a quesadilla.
What sweetener is best?
For keto:
powdered erythritol
monk-fruit/erythritol blends
allulose
stevia blends
For the best texture, I prefer powdered sweetener because it dissolves quickly into the cream cheese.
Can I use regular sugar?
Yes.
Use approximately 1–2 tsp sugar.
This will increase the carbohydrate and calorie content.
Why is my quesadilla leaking?
Usually because there is too much filling.
Other causes:
cream cheese was too soft
heat was too high
tortilla was overfilled
edges weren’t pressed together
Use medium-low heat and leave a small border around the tortilla.
Why isn’t the cream cheese melting?
Cream cheese doesn’t melt like mozzarella.
It becomes soft, creamy and spreadable rather than becoming a long cheese pull.
For a more melted texture, mix the cream cheese with 1 tbsp shredded mozzarella or a little mascarpone.
Can I add protein?
Yes.
For a higher-protein breakfast, mix:
2 oz cream cheese + 2 tbsp Greek yogurt + 1–2 tbsp protein powder
Use vanilla protein powder for a dessert-like version.
Add a little milk if the mixture becomes too thick.
Can I make it ahead?
Yes, but it’s best freshly cooked.
You can assemble it and refrigerate it for approximately 12–24 hours before cooking.
Keep it tightly covered.
Can I freeze it?
You can, although the cream cheese texture may become slightly different after thawing.
For best results:
Assemble without cooking.
Wrap tightly.
Freeze.
Thaw in the refrigerator.
Cook in a skillet over medium-low heat.
Air Fryer Method
You can also make it in an air fryer.
Assemble the quesadilla.
Lightly brush the outside with butter.
Air fry at 180°C / 350°F.
Cook for approximately 4–6 minutes.
Flip halfway through.
Watch it closely because low-carb tortillas can brown quickly.
Microwave Method
For the fastest version:
Assemble the quesadilla.
Microwave for 20–30 seconds to soften the filling.
Transfer to a hot skillet.
Toast both sides for 1–2 minutes.
This gives you a warm center while still producing a crispy tortilla.
Best Version for the Photograph
If your goal is to reproduce the exact thick, overflowing appearance in the image, I’d use:
Filling
1 keto tortilla
2½ oz cream cheese
¼ cup blueberries
1½ tsp powdered monk-fruit/erythritol
¼ tsp vanilla
⅛ tsp cinnamon
pinch salt
Cooking
Medium-low heat + butter + about 3 minutes per side.
Then cut it while still warm and add fresh blueberries on top.
