Both fillings are lovingly wrapped in delicate crepes, creating a symphony of flavors and textures that will captivate your taste buds. Whether you prefer a sweet or savory treat, our crepes nalesniki are sure to become a favorite in your kitchen.
POLISH NALESNIKI
Sweet cheese filling goes well with sweet Polish nalesniki, also known as Polish blintzes or filled crepes. Once filled and rolled, they can be baked, pan-fried, or dipped in beaten egg and bread crumbs and fried. Serve with fruit sauce, like a fresh blueberry sauce, if desired.

CREPES-NALESNIKI W/SWEET CHEESE FILLING
If you love crepes this is a step by step recipe so you can make them at home. I was excited that I now can make them myself. I just adore crepes and with a sweet cheese lemony flavored filling they are just heavenly good. We made these in a Polish cooking class I took last month in March 2013 with Chef Tad. Hope you'll give them...

Steps:
- 1. With a whisk, beat eggs well. Add your milk, water, salt & oil and whisk together. While whisking together gradually add the flour and keep mixing till lump disappear. If there are still lumps in mixture allow it to sit several minutes and whisk again. This batter will be very thin.
- 2. Preheat pan over a medium-high heat. Make sure you are using a well seasoned 9-inch pan or non-stick pan and if need be brush a little oil on pan for the first crepe.
- 3. Pour 1/4 cup batter into pan and twirl to coat the entire bottom with the batter.
- 4. Fry till lightly browned and flip crepe and lightly brown on other side about 20 seconds.
- 5. Stack all your crepes on a plate while making them.
- 6. SWEET CHEESE FILLING: Mash your cottage cheese well with a fork or potato masher & zest your lemon or orange. Add the rest of ingredients and mix well. We loved the strong flavor of lemon zest but you can add a smaller amount if you want.
- 7. Spread about 1 tablespoon cheese mixture across and off-center of crepe. The line of mixture should be about 1 inch wide. Try not to spread to the edge of the crepe or the filling may leak out.
- 8. Roll up crepes and fry lightly in butter.
- 9. Sprinkle crepes with powdered sugar and serve. You can add some fresh sliced fruit, homemade jam or just a drizzles of chocolate or caramel syrup. Whatever you love best. They taste incredible!
MOM'S NALESNIKI (SURPRISINGLY EASY POLISH CREPES)
I was always so afraid of this recipe, because it seemed so difficult and I always messed it up when I tried it. BUT, when I learned a few tricks from my mom, these are so easy: don't be afraid of the batter being too thin on the pan, make sure that the crepe is really well cooked on one side before you flip it (the whole thing should slide around when you move the pan) and don't cook it too long after flipping it, just enough to brown since it's already cooked through. These are great with a sweet cheese filling (twarog or baker's cheese, sour cream, sugar, vanilla), or we even serve them open, and everyone spreads however much apple sauce or jam, then sprinkles with sugar, sour cream and/or powdered sugar.

Steps:
- Combine the flour, salt, egg and 1/2 cup each of milk and water and blend with hand mixer.
- Keep adding the remaining milk and water until you get a batter that's a bit thinner than sour cream. I've included some pictures to get an idea, but it should be pretty runny.
- Heat a frying pan (approx. 9" diameter) over high heat and spray with non-stick spray (or coat with oil that can withstand high temperatures).
- Pour about one and a quarter soup ladle on the center of the hot, greased pan. Tilt the pan immediately to spread the batter around. Remember, the batter may look really thin in spots, but that's ok, it'll still flip once it's cooked through (this is where I always went wrong because it seemed too thin and I panicked, but if it gets too thick it won't set properly).
- Let cook for a few minutes, depending on how hot the pan is this could take from 1-3 minutes. You can tell when it's ready to flip when 1) the crepe slides around when you move the pan and 2) you don't see anymore soft or uncooked areas in the top of the crepe. They're pretty thin so you can literally see the runny sections firm up!
- Flip the crepe over and cook for 30seconds - 1 minutes then slide onto a plate.
- If folding with any mixture, place mixture on half of crepe, fold over then fold over again so you get a quarter triangle. Depending on the filling, they can be served immediately or if using cheese filling (described in the intro, adjust ingredients to your personal preference), fry them up in a bit of butter to get the outside crispy and melt the cheese a bit. For jam or apple sauce, we just roll them up and top with sour cream and/or sugar.

Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your crepes and filling.
- Make sure your batter is thin and smooth. Lumpy batter will not cook evenly.
- Don't overcrowd the pan. Cook your crepes in a single layer so that they cook evenly.
- Flip the crepes carefully. Use a thin spatula and flip the crepes quickly so that they don't tear.
- Don't overcook the crepes. They should be cooked through but still slightly soft.
- Let the crepes cool slightly before filling them. This will help to prevent the filling from leaking out.
- Serve the crepes immediately. Crepes are best when served fresh and warm.
Conclusion:
Crepes are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. With so many different fillings to choose from, there's sure to be a crepe that everyone will enjoy. So next time you're looking for a new recipe to try, give crepes a try!
