1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
BATTER:
1 1/4 cups milk
2 tablespoons sour cream

2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Steps:

  • For the Blueberry sauce: Combine the orange juice, sugar, and cornstarch in a medium saucepan and boil, stirring occasionally, until translucent and thickened. Stir in the blueberries and simmer 4 to 5 minutes. Stir in the zest and lemon juice and cool. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan. For the pancake batter: Place all the ingredients of the batter in the bowl of a food processor with a steel blade or blender (or a whisk, ) and blend until smooth. Pour half the batter into the dish and bake 10 minutes, or until set. For the filling: Whisk all the ingredients together in a large bowl until thoroughly combined. Spread over the baked layer Next, carefully spoon the remaining pancake batter over the cheese layer. Return to the oven and bake for 35 to 40 minutes or until the top is light golden and the filling is set. Remove from the oven and let stand 10 to 15 minutes. Cut into squares and serve with blueberry sauce. NOTE: This makes a lot! You can cut this recipe in half. The night before, I made the pancake batter, but waited to add the baking powder right before making this. I also made the filling and the blueberry sauce the night before. This assembled beautifully, and baked perfectly. Warm the blueberry sauce, but don't boil it.

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.

Time 55m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

12 slices thick-cut bacon, such as Nodine's applewood smoked
1 cup good mayonnaise
1/4 cup Dijon mustard
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 white pullman loaf or sourdough bread, sliced 1/2 inch thick (12 slices)
6 tablespoons salted butter, at room temperature
6 ounces aged Gruyere or Comte cheese
6 ounces extra-sharp Cheddar, such as Cabot or Shelburne Farms

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Arrange the bacon on a baking rack set over a sheet pan in a single layer and roast for 20 to 30 minutes, until nicely browned. Drain on a plate lined with paper towels and cut in 1-inch pieces.
  • Meanwhile, combine the mayonnaise, mustard, Parmesan, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Lay 12 slices of bread on a board and spread each one lightly with butter. Flip the slices and spread each one generously with the mayonnaise mixture. Don't neglect the corners!
  • Grate the cheeses in a food processor fitted with the largest grating disk and combine. Distribute the bacon evenly on half the slices of bread. Pile 1/3 cup grated cheese evenly on top of the bacon and top with the remaining bread slices, sauce side down.

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.
