• spoon
• frying pan and spatula OR baking dish

• 1 batch crêpe batter
• 2 c cottage cheese, or a mix of cottage and ricotta cheese
• several T oil or butter

Lay out a crêpe and add filling. You have a couple of options:

1. Long blintz: Spoon a line of filling along the center of the crêpe, leaving about one inch on either end. Then fold the top and bottom over the filling.
2. Square blintz: Place filling in a square in the center of the crêpe, then fold in the sides and the top and bottom.

Set aside the blintz and repeat with remaining crêpes/filling.

You also have two heating options: you can either heat the oil or butter in a frying pan and fry the blintzes for a minute or two on each side until golden (it can be tricky to flip long blintzes), or you can oil a baking pan and bake the blintzes for 30 minutes.

Serve with sour cream, applesauce, berry sauce, or fresh berries.

Cheese blintzes are ideal for brunch.
