Blintz Souffle

Blintz Soufflé

A blintz, similar to a crepe, is a traditional Jewish food that is a thin rolled pancake filled with cheese or fruit and then fried or baked. They take some time to make, so instead I make this one-dish blintz soufflé. It’s delicious and easy to mix, bake, and serve. We serve it with the traditional toppings listed below, a big fruit salad, and coffee cake.

• 1# cottage cheese – 2% milkfat is fine
• 3 oz cream cheese – softened
• ¼ cup melted butter (1/2 stick)
• 6 T sugar
• ½ cup flour
• 3 eggs
• ½ tsp lemon juice
• ½ tsp baking powder

Preheat oven to 350.

Beat together cheeses, butter, and sugar. Beat in eggs one at a time. Add flour, baking powder and lemon juice until mixture combined.

Pour into an 8-inch well-buttered Pyrex dish or 2 qt. casserole. Bake 40-45 minutes until set.

Serve immediately with sour cream, cinnamon sugar, and applesauce on the side.
