Cottage Cheese Blintzes

Description

I got this recipe from my mom, and even when I thought cottage cheese was nasty I loved this recipe! Great if you’re trying to encourage someone to eat cottage cheese, or just to eat as a snack! Serve hot or cold, with jam or any other topping.

Ingredients

  • 3 eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • ¾ cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon vegetable oil, or as needed
  • 2 (16 ounce) containers small curd cottage cheese, very well drained
  • 2 egg yolks
  • ¼ cup white sugar
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vegetable oil, or as needed

Instructions

  1. Whisk together the eggs
  2. milk
  3. and 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a bowl; gradually add in the flour
  4. whisking to remove all lumps.
  5. Brush a small skillet with 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
  6. and heat over medium-high heat. Pour about 2 tablespoons of batter per crepe into the heated skillet
  7. and tilt the pan to completely cover the surface with batter. Crepes should be about 5 inches in diameter. Cook the crepes until golden on the bottom
  8. and set but not wet on top
  9. 1 to 2 minutes per crepe. Don’t flip the crepes. Set the cooked crepes aside.
  10. Mix the cottage cheese
  11. egg yolks
  12. sugar
  13. and lemon juice in a bowl until very well combined. To fill
  14. place a crepe in front of you on a work surface with the cooked side up
  15. and place about 1/4 cup of cheese filling in the center of the crepe. Fold the right and left edges of the crepe over the filling
  16. and roll the crepe over to seal the filling in
  17. making a compact little roll filled with cheese. Set the blintzes aside.
  18. Heat 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat
  19. and place the filled blintzes into the hot skillet. Pan-fry the blintzes until golden brown on each side
  20. about 2 minutes per side. Eat hot or cold.
