Cottage Cheese Crepe Filling Recipes

COTTAGE CHEESE BLINTZES

Steps:

• Whisk together the eggs, milk, and 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a bowl; gradually add in the flour, whisking to remove all lumps.
• Brush a small skillet with 1 teaspoon vegetable oil, and heat over medium-high heat. Pour about 2 tablespoons of batter per crepe into the heated skillet, and tilt the pan to completely cover the surface with batter. Crepes should be about 5 inches in diameter. Cook the crepes until golden on the bottom, and set but not wet on top, 1 to 2 minutes per crepe. Don't flip the crepes. Set the cooked crepes aside.
• Mix the cottage cheese, egg yolks, sugar, and lemon juice in a bowl until very well combined. To fill, place a crepe in front of you on a work surface with the cooked side up, and place about 1/4 cup of cheese filling in the center of the crepe. Fold the right and left edges of the crepe over the filling, and roll the crepe over to seal the filling in, making a compact little roll filled with cheese. Set the blintzes aside.
• Heat 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat, and place the filled blintzes into the hot skillet. Pan-fry the blintzes until golden brown on each side, about 2 minutes per side. Eat hot or cold.

CREPES WITH COTTAGE CHEESE FILLING

Steps:

• For the crepes batter, place all the ingredients except the oil into a blender and blend until smooth and combined.
• Preheat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
• Slightly brush the skillet with oil and pour about 1/4 - 1/3 cup of the batter on the preheated skillet and swirl it around just to cover the bottom, making the crepe as thin as possible.
• Cook until the top comes to dry and the underside is golden; turn and cook on the second side for about 20 seconds.
• Transfer the crêpe to a plate or a cutting board. Repeat with the remaining batter.

COTTAGE CHEESE CREPES

Steps:

• Crack the eggs into a large bowl and whisk until frothy. Whisk in the milk, water and flour along with the salt and stir until smooth. Heat oil in a large skillet, and add a ladle full of batter to the pan. Swish mixture around until a thin layer covers the pan. Cook each side for about 1 minute. Remove and repeat. In another large bowl, combine cottage cheese, eggs yolks, whipping cream and salt and pepper together. Stir to combine everything. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and grease a baking dish. Evenly distribute the filling among the crepes and spread evenly. Fold in the sides and roll up. Place each rolled crepe in the dish, and cover with melted butter. Bake for 20 minutes. For the dill sauce, bring the cream to just a boil, add in dill and salt and pepper. Stir in the slurry and cook until thickened. Serve dill sauce over the cottage cheese crepes and enjoy!

HUNGARIAN CRêPES: PALACSINTA

Steps:

• In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, melted butter, and salt. Whisk in the flour 1/4 cup at a time until the mixture is free of lumps and thoroughly combined. Cover and refrigerate for at least one hour to allow the batter to thicken.
• While the batter chills, make the filling and the raspberry sauce. For the filling, combine the cottage cheese, confectioners' sugar, lemon zest, and vanilla in a bowl. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
• To prepare the sauce, place the raspberries, lemon juice, and sugar in a small saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Whisk the water and cornstarch together in a small bowl until well blended, then add to the raspberry mixture. Return to a simmer and continue cooking until the mixture thickens to a syrup-like consistency (do not overcook). Transfer to a bowl and set aside to cool.
• To make the palacsinta, add 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil to a 10-inch nonstick pan and rub it over the bottom and sides with a paper towel. Heat the pan over medium heat and add 1/4 cup of the batter to the center of the pan. Working quickly, lift the pan from the heat, tilting and rotating until the batter coats it completely in a thin layer.
• As soon as the crêpe appears set and "dry" (20 to 30 seconds), flip it over and cook until barely browned, 10 to 15 seconds longer. Transfer to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter.
• Stack the cooked palacsinta (crepes) on a plate. You should end up with about 1 dozen.
• To serve, place one crêpe on a flat surface and spread about 2-1/2 tablespoons of the filling on one side, about 1 inch in from the edges. Gently roll the crêpe to form a tube, making sure the filling is evenly distributed. Place seam side down on a serving plate and top with raspberry sauce.

COTTAGE CHEESE CREPES WITH ALMONDS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees, with rack in center. Spread almonds in a single layer on a baking sheet; bake until golden brown, about 8 minutes. Let cool slightly. Reserve 2 tablespoons for garnish.
• In a medium bowl, stir together cottage cheese, sugar, and cinnamon. Stir in almonds. Dollop 2 tablespoons cheese mixture on the short end of each crepe half; carefully roll into a tight cylinder.
• Place crepes, seam side down and 1 inch apart, on a baking sheet. Bake until warmed through and beginning to brown on edges, about 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat jam and 2 tablespoons water in a small saucepan over medium heat (or in the microwave) until jam is liquefied; whisk to combine. With a thin-edge metal spatula, carefully transfer 2 crepes to each of four plates. Drizzle with apricot sauce; sprinkle with reserved almonds. Serve immediately.
