Menus often have various kinds of fruit blintzes listed, but for me cheese blintzes are the only option. The creamy cheese filling complements the warm crêpe so nicely, I can’t imagine filling it with anything else.
Yield: 8 blintzes
Time: 30-60 minutes, depending on heating method
Tools
- spoon
- frying pan and spatula or baking dish
Ingredients
- 1 batch crêpe batter
- 2 c tofu cottage cheese
- several T oil
Directions
Prepare the crêpes according to the recipe.
Lay out a crêpe, add ¼ c cottage cheese, and fold or roll.
Set aside the blintz and repeat with remaining crêpes and filling.
Two heating options
- Heat the oil in a frying pan and fry the blintzes for a minute or two on each side until golden.
- Oil a baking dish, arrange the blintzes in a single layer, and bake at 350 for 30 minutes.
Notes
Variations: add raisins or other dried fruit, cinnamon, and/or toasted nuts to the cottage cheese.
Serve with sour cream, applesauce, berry sauce, or fresh berries.
Cheese blintzes are ideal for brunch.
