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.
Tips:
- If you're short on time, you can use store-bought blintz wrappers. Just be sure to thaw them according to the package directions before using them.
- If you're using fresh fruit, be sure to wash and cut it into small pieces before adding it to the filling.
- Don't overfill the blintzes. Otherwise, they'll be difficult to seal and may burst open while cooking.
- To prevent the blintzes from sticking to the pan, grease it lightly with cooking spray or butter before cooking.
- Cook the blintzes over medium heat until they're golden brown and crispy on both sides.
- Serve the blintzes immediately with your favorite toppings, such as sour cream, applesauce, or fruit compote.
