Cheese Blintzes

Cheese Blintzes are thin crepe-like pancakes filled with a sweet cheese mixture. They are often served with a dusting of powdered sugar or a drizzle of fruit sauce. Here’s how to make them from scratch!

Cheese Blintzes

Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ cups milk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1 cup cream cheese, softened
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Butter or oil for frying
  • Powdered sugar for serving (optional)
  • Fruit sauce for serving (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, milk, eggs, melted butter, and salt. Whisk until smooth and refrigerate for about 30 minutes.
  2. In another bowl, blend the ricotta cheese, cream cheese, granulated sugar, egg yolk, and vanilla extract until creamy and well combined.
  3. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add a small amount of butter or oil to coat the pan.
  4. Pour about ¼ cup of batter into the skillet, swirling it to form a thin pancake. Cook for about 1-2 minutes or until the edges start to lift and it’s lightly golden.
  5. Flip the blintz and cook for another minute. Remove from the pan and continue until all the batter is used, stacking the pancakes on a plate.
  6. To fill each blintz, place about 2 tablespoons of the cheese mixture onto one side of the pancake, then fold the sides and roll it up tightly.
  7. In the same skillet, add a bit more butter or oil and fry the filled blintzes seam-side down until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes on each side.
  8. Serve warm, dusted with powdered sugar or accompanied by fruit sauce, if desired.

These Cheese Blintzes are perfect for any occasion. They make a wonderful breakfast, brunch, or even a sweet ending to a cozy meal. Enjoy every bite!
