A great dessert or brunch entrée. Crepes are filled with delicious strawberry filling and then rolled and baked.
Recipe type: Dessert
Ingredients
  • 12 crepes
  • 4 Tbsp. (2 oz) cream cheese
  • 1 egg yolk
  • ⅛ tsp. salt
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 1 Tbsp. lemon juice
  • 1 tsp. grated lemon zest
  • ½ c. sugar
  • 1½ c. cottage cheese
  • ½ c. ricotta cheese
  • 4 c. sliced fresh strawberries
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare crepes and set aside
  2. Combine cream cheese, egg yolk, salt, vanilla, juice, zest and sugar in a food processor or mixing bowl; process until well blended.
  3. Add cottage cheese and ricotta. Using the pulsing action on the processor, process for 3 short pulses; in a mixing bowl, mix gently until the cheese is just blended but not soupy.
  4. Stir 2 cups of strawberries into cheese mixture
  5. Spoon ½ cup of the cheese mixture into each crepe. Fold in the sides and roll the crepe to make an envelope that completely encloses the filling. Place seam side down in a greased baking dish big enough to hold all the blintzes in a single layer. Cover the dish with foil and bake for 20 minutes or until hot
  6. Remove from oven and sprinkle with the remaining strawberries. Serve at once
