I hope all of you had a wonderful Valentines Day! The last few years my husband and I have taken the train to Denver for Valentines Day. This year we stayed in a cute little bed and breakfast in down town Denver. We had a great time! We also love taking the train places. On this trip one of the things they were serving in the dining car of the train for breakfast were cheese blintzes. My husband had never heard of these before. Now train food is ok, but when they said they cooked the cheese blintzes in the microwave I just couldn’t bare to try them. I told my husband I would make him some when we got home. I absolutely love a good cheese blintze! Most of you know that anything that you can call breakfast, but really could be eaten as a dessert is ok in my book. I think these are such a yummy variation to a traditional crepe. This recipe is very easy and so worth any work you put into it! If you have never tried cheese blintzes this recipe is a very basic recipe and can be dolled up any way you want.
Heat oven to 375 degrees and brush a 9×13 pan with melted butter. Stir
cream cheese, cottage cheese, sugar, salt and vanilla extra in a medium
bowl with a wooden spoon until blended.
To fill each crepe, spoon 3 T of filling cream cheese mixture in the
center of once crepe, then fold the bottom part of the crepe up over the
filling, followed by folding both sides in, and finally folding the top
down. Place seam side down in prepared baking dish. Repeat with
remaining ingredients.
Brush the tops of each blintz with melted butter and place in oven. Bake
for 10-15 minutes, or until they are puffed and turning golden in
color. Remove from oven. I have also done this step in a frying pan with some butter, flipping once browned. If choosing this option you have to be very careful not to tear the delicate crepe when flipping.
