Yield Makes about 8 servings as a main course, more as a side dish or buffet dish

Number Of Ingredients 20

Batter:
4 large eggs (no substitutes)
1 1/4 cups milk
2 tablespoons sour cream
1/4 cup butter, melted (for best flavor, no substitutes)
3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
1 to 2 tablespoons sugar
1 1/4 teaspoons baking powder
Filling (see notes):
2 (7 1/2- to 8-ounce) packages curd-style farmer cheese
1 (15- to 16-ounce) container ricotta cheese, any type
2 large eggs or 1/2 cup egg substitute
2 to 3 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons lemon juice
To serve:
sour cream
plain or vanilla yogurt
applesauce
sliced fresh strawberries or other fruit

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 9 by 13-inch baking dish or coat it with nonstick cooking spray.
  • In a blender or a food processor (fitted with a steel blade), combine all batter ingredients. Process until very smooth, scraping down the sides of the container once or twice. Measure out 1 1/2 cups of the batter, and pour it into the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Bake at 350 degrees forabout 10 minutes, or until it is set.
  • Meanwhile, combine all the filling ingredients in a large bowl, and mix them well. When the bottom layer has set, remove it from the oven and spread the filling over it, smoothing the top. Give the remaining batter a brief stir to resuspend the ingredients; then very slowly pour it over the cheese filling so the filling is completely covered. Carefully return the casserole to the 350 degree oven, and bake an additional 35 to 40 minutes, or until the top is puffed and set.
  • Let the casserole rest for about 10 minutes before cutting it into squares. Serve with your choice of accompaniments.

CHEESE BLINTZ CASSEROLE



Cheese Blintz Casserole image

Everyone in our family loves this casserole. It appeals equally to those who are finicky and others with more sophisticated tastes. We like a nonsweet filling, but you can replace the salt with a couple tablespoons of sugar if you prefer. This recipe can be doubled. Then bake it in a larger casserole for about an hour. Depending on the size of your blender, you may need to make the batter for the double recipe in two batches. Serve hot with sour creme.

BLINTZ CASSEROLE



Blintz Casserole image

I came across this recipe from Beach Hut Bed & Breakfast Inn and posted it here so I could locate it next weekend. Thought it sounded good, not too sweet, and seems easy to put together for overnight guests. I don't know how many people this recipe would serve, but I would double it for 4 guests, thinking three blintzes per person. I will post a review next week. I did try this recipe and I thought it was very, very bland. Perhaps others will think differently.
