Cheese Blintzes With Blueberry Sauce Recipes

BAKED BLINTZES WITH FRESH BLUEBERRY SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 9-by-13-inch cake pan or baking dish.
• For the batter, place all the ingredients in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the steel blade and blend until smooth. (You can also use a blender.) Pour half the batter (about 1 3/4 cups) into the prepared dish and bake for 10 minutes, until set.
• Meanwhile, for the filling, whisk together the ricotta, mascarpone, eggs, and sugar in a large bowl. Add the lemon zest, lemon juice, vanilla, and salt and mix until thoroughly combined. Spread the cheese filling over the baked pancake. Carefully spoon the remaining pancake batter to cover the cheese.
• Return the pan to the oven and continue baking for 35 to 40 minutes, until the top is lightly golden and the filling is almost set. Remove from the oven and allow to stand 10 to 15 minutes. Cut the blintzes in squares and serve warm with the Fresh Blueberry Sauce.
• Combine the orange juice, sugar, and cornstarch in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. When the mixture is translucent and thickened, stir in the blueberries and simmer for 4 to 5 minutes, just until a few berries have burst but most are still whole. Stir in the lemon zest and lemon juice and cool.

INA GARTEN'S BAKED BLINTZES WITH FRESH BLUEBERRY SAUCE RECIPE - (4.2/5)

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.

BLUEBERRY CHEESE BLINTZES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Blend all ingredients with a hand blender (or in a food processor) and let batter rest for 20 minutes. If you are whisking by hand, strain batter before resting.
• To make crepes, heat a large non-stick pan over medium heat. Spray with food release, or lightly coat with oil (you will only have to do this every other time).
• Pour 2 ounces of batter into the center of the pan and lift the pan off the heat, swirling the batter around to coat the pan evenly. Return pan to heat and cook crepes for 3 minutes, until edges turn light brown. Gently loosen edges of crepe with a spatula and flip crepe over in pan. If this presents a challenge, simply turn burner down to medium low heat and cook crepe longer on one side, until crepe is completely dry looking (crepe will cook without flipping). Loosen edges of crepe and slide onto a plate to cool. Repeat with remaining batter.
• After crepes have cooled, be sure to wrap well until ready to fill. Do not store in fridge - if not using right away, freeze and thaw when ready to fill.
• Filling:.
• Stir together ricotta, sour cream and sugar. Stir in egg, egg yolk, vanilla and nutmeg.
• To Assemble:.
• Butter a baking pan with melted butter. Place 2 crepes on the counter, with the paler sides facing up. Place about 2 tablespoons fresh blueberries in the center of each crepe and spoon about 3 ounces of the ricotta filling on top of the berries. Fold edges of crepe over 4 times to create a square parcel. Turn parcel over and place in baking pan. Repeat with remaining crepes, placing them very close to each other in the pan.
• Brush tops of blintzes with butter, and sprinkle with a little sugar. Bake for 15-20 minutes, until they puff up like little pillows.
• Serve immediately, dusted generously with icing sugar and with a little blueberry sauce or fresh berries. A scoop of vanilla ice cream also has a place on such a dessert!
• The blintz crepes freeze wonderfully! Similar to classic French crepes, blintz crepes are more tender due to the great amount of butter in them.

BLUEBERRY CHEESE BLINTZ RECIPE

Steps:

• Pour milk and eggs into your blender and blend on high for 2 minutes. Add flour and sugar and blend on high for 2-3 minutes. Scrape sides of blender with a spatula and add melted and blend for another 2 minutes. Place batter in the fridge for 1 hour to rest for best texture.
• Heat a non-stick coated skillet on medium high heat for 2-3 minutes. You want to make sure your pan gets nice and hot before pouring batter into the pan. Brush the pan with melted butter to coat the pan's surface. Pour about a 1/3 cup of batter into the center of the pan and then lift the pan off of the burner and tip the pan to swirl the batter out to the edges to form a thin circular shape. Return pan to the burner and after about 15-20 seconds carefully work a spatula underneath your crepe and flip it over to the cook the other side. Cook for 15-20 seconds and remove to a warming dish. Continue brushing your pan with butter before each crêpe is made. Continue until all the batter is used.
• Place all of the ingredients in a food processor and blend on high until smooth and creamy.
• In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the blueberries, 1/2 cup of water, sugar and lemon juice. Bring to a low boil stirring frequently.
• In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of cold water.
• Slowly stir the corn starch mixture into the blueberries.
• Simmer until sauce thickens, about 5 minutes.
• Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla and lemon zest.
• Can be served warm or cooled.
• Preheat oven to 400 Degrees F.
• Place a couple of tablespoons of the cheese filling in the center of one of the crêpes. Roll up like a burrito tucking the ends so that the cheese does not seep out.
• Place in a 9x11 baking dish and continue making the rest of the blintzes.
• Place blintzes in the oven on the center rack. Bake for ten minutes.
• Serve immediately with blueberry sauce and toppings.

CHEESE BLINTZ SOUFFLéS WITH BLUEBERRY BALSAMIC SAUCE

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan, stir together sugar, cornstarch and water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes or until sugar dissolves.
• Stir in blueberries and cook, stirring occasionally for 10 minutes.
• Reduce heat to low, add butter and stir until melted. Stir in balsamic vinegar. Remove from heat and set aside.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter 6 individual (6- to 8-ounce) soufflé dishes or 6 large ramekins.
• Using an electric mixer or food processor, blend together the eggs, sour cream, orange juice, butter, 2 1/2 tablespoons sugar and baking powder.
• Add flour and blend until smooth. Pour half the batter (about 1/4 cup each) into the prepared baking dishes.
• Beat together the cream cheese, cottage cheese, egg yolks, vanilla and remaining 1/2 tablespoon sugar. Drop by spoonfuls over the top of the batter in the baking dishes.
• Gently drizzle remaining batter over the top (about 1/4 cup per dish).
• Put ramekins on a large baking sheet and bake uncovered, for 30 to 35 minutes or until puffed, set in the center and golden brown.
• Serve with warm sauce spooned over the top. Garnish with additional fresh blueberries.

CHEESE AND LEMON BLINTZES

Steps:

• Mix flour, eggs, and salt together in a bowl until smooth and creamy.
• Lightly coat a small skillet with cooking spray. Pour 2 to 3 tablespoons of batter into the skillet. Swirl around until even and then place skillet over medium heat. Cook until sides begin to curl away, about 2 minutes. Turn and cook other side until lightly browned, about 1 minute more. Put onto a plate.
• Mix cream cheese, raisins, sugar, egg yolks, lemon peel, vanilla extract, and cinnamon together in a bowl to make the filling. Place 2 to 3 teaspoons of filling on each blintz and roll up like a small burrito.
• Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the filled blintzes, turning carefully, until lightly browned, about 30 seconds each.

CHEESE BLINTZES

Steps:

• Make the cheese filling by combining all the ingredients and mixing them until smooth. Put in the fridge while you prepare the batter.
• To make the blueberry sauce, put all the ingredients in a saucepan and cook over medium heat until the blueberries start to burst. Simmer for a couple more minutes and set aside.
• Prepare the crêpe batter: sift the flour, salt and sugar and set aside.
• Whisk the eggs and slowly add the milk and melted butter, mixing until smooth.
• Add the flour and whisk it in. Cover and set aside to rest for 10-15 minutes. The batter should have the consistency of pouring cream - if it's too thin add a little more flour - about 2 tablespoons.
• Heat a teaspoon of butter in a non stick pan until just foaming. Pour some batter into the pan and swirl it around so it coats the whole bottom of the pan. Cook until bubbles form on top and the edges start to brown and curl. Put the crepe on a plate lined with kitchen towel.
• Repeat until you use up all the batter adding extra butter on the pan if needed (I found that once was enough).
• To make the blintze, take a crêpe, cooked side up, and place a tablespoon of filling near the edge closest to you.
• Fold the bottom edge over to cover the filling, then fold the sides in. Roll the bottom of the blintz over and set aside. Repeat with rest of the pancakes.
• Heat a teaspoon of butter in the pan. Once its foaming, place 4 blintzes, seam side down, on the pan and cook a couple a minutes on each side until golden.
• Serve warm, drizzled with the blueberry sauce and dusted with icing sugar.

BLUEBERRY BLINTZES

Steps:

• Combine the milk, water, eggs, flour, salt and sugar in a blender. Blend on medium speed for 15 seconds, until the batter is smooth and lump-free. Scrape down the sides of the blender and pour in 3 tablespoons of melted butter. Blend it again for a second just to incorporate. Refrigerate the batter for 1 hour to let it rest. If the crepes are made immediately, they have a tendency to be rubbery; when you let the batter rest, the crepes have a better texture and a softer bite.
• Put an 8-inch crepe pan or nonstick skillet over medium heat and brush with a little melted butter for added assurance. Pour 1/4 cup of batter into the pan and swirl it around so it covers the bottom evenly; pour back any excess. Cook for 30 to 45 seconds, until the crepe batter sets. Lightly bang the edge of the pan with a wooden spoon to loosen the crepe; then flip it and cook another 30 seconds. The art of flipping a crepe in the air takes practice, so make sure no one is looking when you get the first one going. If this intimidates you, use a heatproof rubber spatula to loosen and flip the crepe. The crepes should be pliable, not crisp, and lightly brown. Slide them onto a platter and continue making the crepes until all the batter is used. Cover the stack of crepes with a towel to keep them from drying out. This makes 10 crepes.
• Assembly: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Forming the blintzes is kind of like making burritos. Spoon 1/4 cup of the Cheese Filling along the lower third of the crepe. Fold the bottom edge away from you to just cover the filling; then fold the 2 sides in to the center. Roll the crepe away from you a couple of times to make a package, ending with the seam side down. Put an ovenproof skillet over medium heat. Brush with melted butter. Pan-fry the blintzes for 2 minutes per side until crisp and golden.
• Transfer the pan to the oven and bake for 10 minutes so the egg in the filling cooks slightly and the cheese sets. Using a spatula, transfer the blintzes to serving plates. Spoon the Blueberry Sauce on top, dust with confectioners' sugar, and serve right away.
• Serve with chopped banana and remaining Blueberry Sauce. Sprinkle with powdered sugar and serve.
• In a food processor, combine the ricotta cheese, cream cheese, confectioners' sugar, lemon zest, and egg and blend until smooth. Chill the filling to firm it up a bit so it doesn't squirt out of the blintzes.
• Combine the butter, blueberries, sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice in a small pot over medium-high heat. Bring up to a low boil and stir gently until the berries break down and release their natural juices. The consistency should remain a bit chunky. It will thicken up when it cools down slightly.

CHEESE BLINTZES WITH BLUEBERRY SAUCE

Steps:

• Make crêpes
• In blender, combine milk and eggs. Add flour and salt and blend at low speed until smooth, less than 1 minute. Let batter stand 1/2 hour.
• Have ready large plate or platter. Place skillet over moderately high heat, brush lightly with some melted butter, and heat until butter just begins to smoke. Pour 1/4 to 1/3 cup batter into pan, tilting to spread into thin, even layer. Cook until crêpe begins to "blister," edges curl slightly away from skillet, and underside is lightly browned, about 1 to 2 minutes. Use flexible spatula to flip crêpe out of skillet and onto plate, cooked side up.
• Repeat with remaining batter, brushing skillet lightly with melted butter before cooking each crêpe. Stack crêpes, cooked side down, on plate and let cool.
• Make filling
• In large bowl, mash together farmer and cottage cheeses until blended. Add egg yolk, melted butter, sugar, and salt, and mix until combined.
• Place 1 crêpe, cooked side up, on a plate. Place 2 tablespoons filling in center, and fold up bottom to cover filling. Fold down top, then flip over and fold in sides. Flip over again and place on a large plate. Repeat with remaining crêpes and filling. (Can be made up to 1 day ahead; cover and chill until ready to fry.)
• Make sauce
• In large saucepan, combine 3 cups blueberries, sugar, and cornstarch. Set over moderately low heat and stir gently until sugar dissolves. Raise heat to moderately high and boil, stirring occasionally, 3 minutes. Remove from heat and gently stir in remaining blueberries.
• Fry blintzes
• Heat 1 tablespoon butter in iron skillet over moderately high heat. Add 3 blintzes and fry until golden brown on both sides, about 1 to 2 minutes per side. Repeat with remaining blintzes. Serve hot with sauce.
