Time 1h10m

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 15

For the Blintzes
4 large eggs (room temperature, beaten)
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup milk
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup butter (for frying)
For the Filling
1 pound ricotta (room temperature, or dry curd or farmer's cheese)
1 tablespoon butter (melted)
1 large egg yolk (room temperature)
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/4 cup sugar (or more to taste)
Garnish: sour cream
Garnish: fruit toppings (fresh or canned)

Steps:

  • Gather the ingredients.
  • In a medium bowl, beat together 4 eggs, water, milk, salt, and flour until well-mixed. Don't over-beat. It's okay if small particles of flour remain as they will be absorbed during the resting period.
  • Let the batter rest at room temperature for at least 30 minutes.
  • Heat a small skillet (about 7 inches in diameter) and add a pat of butter.
  • Whisk the batter until smooth.
  • Pour about 1/4 cup batter into the pan and swirl it around, pouring off excess. Make sure not to let it brown.
  • Flip and cook the other side for a few seconds.
  • Then, turn the blintz out onto a towel.
  • Repeat with remaining batter and pats of butter, staggering the crepes one on top of each other.
  • In a large bowl, mix together cheese, melted butter, 1 egg yolk, vanilla, and sugar until well-incorporated.
  • To assemble, place one blintz on a work surface and place 1 to 2 tablespoons of filling in a line close to the edge nearest to you.
  • Fold envelope-style.
  • Roll up, and continue with remaining blintzes and filling.
  • Fry the filled blintzes in butter until golden brown.
  • Serve with optional sour cream and/or fresh or canned fruit toppings. Enjoy!

Yield Makes about 8 servings as a main course, more as a side dish or buffet dish

Number Of Ingredients 20

Batter:
4 large eggs (no substitutes)
1 1/4 cups milk
2 tablespoons sour cream
1/4 cup butter, melted (for best flavor, no substitutes)
3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
1 to 2 tablespoons sugar
1 1/4 teaspoons baking powder
Filling (see notes):
2 (7 1/2- to 8-ounce) packages curd-style farmer cheese
1 (15- to 16-ounce) container ricotta cheese, any type
2 large eggs or 1/2 cup egg substitute
2 to 3 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons lemon juice
To serve:
sour cream
plain or vanilla yogurt
applesauce
sliced fresh strawberries or other fruit

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 9 by 13-inch baking dish or coat it with nonstick cooking spray.
  • In a blender or a food processor (fitted with a steel blade), combine all batter ingredients. Process until very smooth, scraping down the sides of the container once or twice. Measure out 1 1/2 cups of the batter, and pour it into the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Bake at 350 degrees forabout 10 minutes, or until it is set.
  • Meanwhile, combine all the filling ingredients in a large bowl, and mix them well. When the bottom layer has set, remove it from the oven and spread the filling over it, smoothing the top. Give the remaining batter a brief stir to resuspend the ingredients; then very slowly pour it over the cheese filling so the filling is completely covered. Carefully return the casserole to the 350 degree oven, and bake an additional 35 to 40 minutes, or until the top is puffed and set.
  • Let the casserole rest for about 10 minutes before cutting it into squares. Serve with your choice of accompaniments.

Tips:

  • Prep your ingredients: Before you start cooking, make sure all your ingredients are measured, chopped, and ready to go. This will help you stay organized and prevent any scrambling during the cooking process.
  • Use a large skillet: A large skillet will give the blintzes enough room to cook evenly without overcrowding. If you don't have a large skillet, you can cook the blintzes in batches.
  • Don't overcrowd the skillet: When cooking the blintzes, don't overcrowd the skillet. This will prevent them from cooking evenly and will make them more likely to stick together.
  • Cook the blintzes over medium heat: Medium heat will help the blintzes cook through without burning the outsides.
  • Flip the blintzes carefully: When flipping the blintzes, use a spatula to gently loosen them from the skillet. This will prevent them from breaking.
  • Serve the blintzes immediately: Blintzes are best served immediately after they are cooked. You can top them with sour cream, applesauce, or your favorite fruit preserves.

Conclusion:

Cheese blintz casserole is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for breakfast, brunch, or lunch. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a delicious and satisfying meal that the whole family will enjoy.
