BAKED BLINTZES WITH FRESH BLUEBERRY SAUCE



Baked Blintzes With Fresh Blueberry Sauce image

This is a Barefoot Contessa recipe which sounds wonderful because you bake the blintzes in a large casserole and then cut into squares vs. having to make individual pancakes. They are topped with a wonderful fresh blueberry topping. Would be wonderful for a brunch!!!

Time 1h20m

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 22

1 1/4 cups milk
2 tablespoons sour cream
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 extra-large eggs
1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 (24 ounce) carton ricotta cheese
8 ounces mascarpone cheese
2 extra-large eggs
1/3 cup sugar
1 tablespoon lemon zest (zest of 2 lemons)
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon kosher salt
3/4 cup orange juice, freshly squeezed (3 oranges)
2/3 cup sugar
1 tablespoon cornstarch
4 half-pints fresh blueberries
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1 tablespoon lemon juice, freshly squeezed

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 9 x 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. Pour half of 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 (use a measuring cup and pour batter into a spoon over the dish -- this will prevent the pancake batter from mixing in with the filling). Return the dish to the oven and continue baking 35-40 minutes, until the top is liqhtly golden and the filling is almost set. Remove from the oven and allow to stand 10-15 minutes. Cut the blintzes in squares and serve warm with the fresh blueberry sauce.
  • 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 4-5 minutes, just until a few berries have burst but most are still whole. Stir in the lemon zest and lemon juice and cool. Makes 2 cups.

BLUEBERRY BLINTZES

Time 1h50m

Yield 5 servings

Number Of Ingredients 21

1 cup milk
1/4 cup cold water
2 eggs
1 cup all-purpose flour
Pinch salt
1 tablespoon sugar
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, plus more for sauteing the crepes
Cheese Filling, recipe follows
Blueberry Sauce, recipe follows
1 1/2 cups ricotta cheese
4 ounces cream cheese
3 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
1 lemon, zested and finely grated
1 egg
2 tablespoons butter
2 pints blueberries
3/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon cornstarch
1 lemon, juiced
Melted unsalted butter, for sauteing blintzes
Confectioners' sugar, for dusting

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.

1 tablespoon cornstarch
2 pounds fresh blueberries
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
BATTER:
1 1/4 cups milk
2 tablespoons sour cream
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
4 extra-large eggs
1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons sugar

FILLING:
24 ounces or 3 cups ricotta cheese
8 ounces mascarpone cheese
2 extra-large eggs
1/3 cup sugar
1 tablespoon grated lemon zest from about 2 lemons
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 teaspoon kosher salt

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 BLINTZES

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h15m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 1/2 cups blueberries
1/4 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
1 1/2 cups whole milk
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
2 large eggs
Flavorless oil, for the skillet
8 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
1 cup whole-milk ricotta cheese
3 tablespoons honey
1 teaspoon lemon zest plus 1 tablespoon lemon juice (from 1 lemon)
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
A pinch of kosher salt
1 large egg
About 1/4 cup flavorless oil, for frying

Steps:

  • For the topping: Add 1/2 cup of the blueberries to a medium bowl with the sugar, honey, lemon juice and cardamom and let sit, stirring every 10 minutes or so and mashing slightly, until the juices are a vibrant pink color, about 1 hour. Fold in the remaining blueberries, coating them in the sauce until shiny.
  • For the blintzes: Meanwhile, in a blender or food processor, combine the milk, flour, salt and eggs and blend until smooth. Let the mixture sit at room temperature for 30 minutes.
  • Coat a 9- or 10-inch nonstick skillet with a thin layer of oil and heat over medium heat. Add 1/3 cup batter to the skillet and tilt it so that it distributes evenly into a round. Cook until the top is set and the bottom is slightly browned and pulls away easily from the skillet, 60 to 90 seconds. Use an offset spatula to transfer it to a plate or work surface (correct, you will not be flipping these). Repeat this process, stacking the cooked blintzes and separating them by sheets of parchment paper.
  • For the filling: In a bowl, mix together the cream cheese, ricotta, honey, lemon zest and juice, almond extract, cardamom, salt and egg until combined.
  • To assemble: Place a blintz browned-side up on a work surface. Spoon 1/4 cup filling slightly below the center line of the blintz. Fold the bottom third of the blintz up over the filling and then fold in the sides. Bring the top third of the blintz down over the filling to seal. Set aside and repeat with the remaining blintzes.
  • In a large skillet, heat a thin layer of oil over medium-high heat until shimmering. Fry the blintzes a few at a time until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes on each side, adding additional oil if the needed. Transfer to a serving plate, top with the blueberry sauce and enjoy.

6 large eggs
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3/8 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons butter, melted
For filling
1 1/2 cups (12 ounces) farmer cheese
1/2 cup (4 ounces) large-curd cottage cheese (4% milk fat)

3/4 cup sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch
For frying
4 tablespoons butter
Special equipment
Iron skillet or crêpe pan
Flexible metal or plastic spatula

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.

Categories     Breakfast

Time 45m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 1/4 cups flour
2 tablespoons sugar
4 eggs
3/4 cup water
1 1/4 cups milk
1 cup unsalted butter, melted
2 cups ricotta cheese
4 tablespoons sour cream
1/4 cup sugar
1 egg
1 egg yolk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 dash nutmeg
2 cups fresh blueberries
melted butter, for brushing

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.
