Kaese Blintzes – (Rolled Cheese Pancakes)
Description
These Kaese Blintzes are a comforting classic, featuring delicate, thin crepes filled with a rich mixture of cottage and pot cheese. The filling is sweetened slightly and bound with egg, creating a soft, tangy contrast to the lightly browned, buttery exterior. Ideal for a leisurely weekend brunch or a hearty weekday breakfast, these rolled pancakes are easy to assemble and delicious served warm. They pair beautifully with a dollop of plain lowfat yogurt or a drizzle of jam. Simple ingredients come together to create a dish that feels homemade and indulgent without being overly complicated.Ingredients
Directions
-
In a medium bowl, beat the cottage cheese, pot cheese, 1 egg, and sugar together until smooth and well combined to create the filling.
-
In a separate large bowl, combine the flour, milk, and 3 eggs.
-
Whisk the mixture vigorously until the batter is completely smooth and free of lumps.
-
Heat a 6- or 8-inch skillet over medium heat.
-
Lightly coat the skillet with vegetable oil using a paper towel.
-
Pour 2 to 3 tablespoons of batter into the hot skillet, tilting and swirling the pan to spread the batter into a thin, even circle.
-
Cook the crepe for about 1-2 minutes, until the edges lift slightly and the surface looks set.
-
Carefully remove the crepe from the pan and place it on a lightly oiled plate, browned side up.
-
Repeat the process with the remaining batter to make all the crepes.
-
Spoon 1 tablespoon of the cheese filling onto the center of each crepe.
-
Fold the bottom edge over the filling, then fold in the sides, and finally roll up the crepe to form a sealed pouch.
-
Melt the margarine in a clean skillet over medium heat.
-
Fry the assembled blintzes in the melted margarine until golden brown on all sides, turning carefully with a spatula.
-
Serve warm, topped with a dollop of plain lowfat yogurt.
