Food Fare: Jewish RecipesCheese Blintzes

Typically eaten during Shavuot.

 

Crepes:

Filling:

Crepes: In a bowl, beat together all the crepe ingredients (except pat of butter); allow batter to rest for at least thirty minutes. Heat the pat of butter in a small skillet; pour about 1/4 cup batter into the skillet and swirl it around, pouring off excess. Do not allow to brown. Flip and cook the other side for a few seconds. Turn crepes out onto a paper towel. Repeat process with remaining batter and additional pats of butter.

 

Filling: In a large bowl, mix together all the filling ingredients.

 

Assembly: Place one crepe on a flat work surface; add one tablespoon of filling on top. Fold envelope style; roll up. Repeat process with remaining crepes and filling. In a large skillet, melt two or three pats of butter. Fry blintzes until golden brown in color.

 

Suggestions: Serve blintzes with sour cream, applesauce or fruit preserves.

 

Variation: Instead of frying, place blintzes in a foil-lined baking pan and brush tops with melted butter; bake at 350-degrees F for about thirty-five to forty minutes.
