Sweet Cheese Blintzes Recipe (Filled Crepe)
Description
This recipe begins by making 12 large crepes about 10 to 12 inches in diameter, serving as wrappers for the sweet cheese filling. The filling combines farmer's cheese, melted unsalted butter, sugar, and an egg yolk beaten together until smooth. A dollop of this filling is placed on each crepe, avoiding the edges to allow folding.
Each crepe is folded over both sides and then rolled up from the bottom to seal in the filling. The rolled blintzes are kept refrigerated until ready to serve. Right before serving, they are warmed on both sides in a buttered skillet over medium heat until gently heated through and lightly golden. This process softens the crepe and slightly toasts the exterior.
These blintzes can be served as a dessert or breakfast treat, typically enjoyed warm to best appreciate the creamy filling and tender crepe exterior. The gentle pan warming allows the filling to remain creamy and avoids drying or burning the blintzes.
