Cheese Blintzes
These cheese blintzes are like a cozy hug on a plate. Soft crepes filled with a rich cheese mixture, they’re then pan-fried to golden perfection. Serve them up with some fresh fruit or a drizzle of syrup, and watch how quickly they disappear!
Ingredients
- For the crepes:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1 ½ cups milk
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- ½ teaspoon salt
- For the cheese filling:
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- ½ cup cream cheese, softened
- ¼ cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 egg, beaten
- For cooking:
- 2 tablespoons butter
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, eggs, milk, melted butter, sugar, and salt until smooth. Let the batter rest for 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in another bowl, mix the ricotta, cream cheese, sugar, vanilla, and beaten egg until well combined. Set aside.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and melt a little butter. Pour a small amount of batter into the pan and swirl to create a thin layer. Cook until edges lift and bottom is golden, about 1–2 minutes. Flip and cook for another minute. Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the pan as needed.
- Once you’ve cooked all the crepes, take one, and place a heaping tablespoon of the cheese filling in the center. Fold the sides over and roll it up, like a burrito. Repeat with all the crepes until the filling is used up.
- In the same skillet, add more butter and cook the filled blintzes seam-side down until they’re golden brown and crispy on all sides, about 2-3 minutes per side.
- Serve warm with your favorite toppings—think fresh berries, a sprinkle of powdered sugar, or a generous drizzle of syrup. Enjoy!
