I got this recipe from my mom, and even when I thought cottage cheese was nasty I loved this recipe! Great if you're trying to encourage someone to eat cottage cheese, or just to eat as a snack! Serve hot or cold, with jam or any other topping.

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

3 eggs
1 cup milk
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
¾ cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon vegetable oil, or as needed
2 (16 ounce) containers small curd cottage cheese, very well drained
2 egg yolks
¼ cup white sugar
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon vegetable oil, or as needed

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.

Time 1h40m

Yield 10-12 blintzes

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

1/2 cup flour
1/2 cup half-and-half
2 eggs
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 cup fresh corn kernels (about 2 ears), or frozen
Vegetable oil for brushing griddle
1 1/2 cups cottage cheese
6 tablespoons sugar

Steps:

Place the flour, half-and-half, eggs, salt, pepper, and butter in a blender and process until smooth. Add the corn and blend for a minute longer, until the corn is pureed. Pour the batter into a bowl, cover, and refrigerate at least 1 hour or up to overnight.
Meanwhile, combine cottage cheese and sugar in a small bowl, cover and refrigerate until ready to fill blintzes.
Preheat oven to 350F. Heat a griddle and brush it lightly with oil. Pour a scant 1/4 cup of batter onto griddle for each blintz. When bubbles form on top, flip the blintzes and cook until lightly browned. Remove blintzes from griddle and immediately place 1 to 2 tablespoons filling in the center. Roll the blintz and place it seam-side down on a baking sheet. When all the blintzes are filled, place them in the oven to warm, about 10-15 minutes. (Alternatively, you can refrigerate unfilled blintzes, stacking them between sheets of waxed paper and wrapping in plastic, and proceed with recipe when ready to fill.) Serve warm with Sauteed apples or pears.
