8 servings
- 2 cups (500 mL) Nordica 2% Cottage Cheese
- 2 tbsp (30 mL) Granulated sugar
- 2 Egg yolks, beaten
- 1 tsp (5 mL) Vanilla extract
- Pinch Ground nutmeg
- 8 Prepared plain crepes, (about 9-inch/23 cm)
Methods/steps
- Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease a baking dish; set aside. Place cottage cheese in cheesecloth and squeeze until 1/2 cup (125 mL) fluid has been released; discard. Blend drained cottage cheese with sugar, egg yolks, vanilla and nutmeg until well combined.
- Place 3 tbsp (45 mL) of the filling at the bottom of a crepe, fold in the sides and roll to enclose filling. Place blintz in prepared pan, seam side down; repeat with remaining filling and crepes. Cover with foil and bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until heated through. Gently reheat to order.
Additional Tips
Combine 1/4 cup (50 mL) maple syrup with 2 tbsp (30 mL) each fresh orange juice and Gay Lea Butter in a small saucepan. Heat until fragrant and serve with blintzes. 2. For a smooth blintz filling place the cottage cheese mixture in a food processor and pulse until smooth.
