How to Make Cheese Blintz

  1. **Prepare the crepe batter:** In a large bowl, whisk together 1 cup all-purpose flour, 2 large eggs, 1 cup milk, 1/4 cup melted butter, 1 tablespoon sugar, and a pinch of salt until smooth. Let the batter rest for 10 minutes.
  2. **Make the cheese filling:** In a medium bowl, combine 16 ounces cream cheese (softened), 1/4 cup sour cream, 1/4 cup sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Mix until well combined.
  3. **Cook the crepes:** Heat a lightly oiled 8-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat. Pour 1/4 cup batter onto the hot skillet, swirling to create a thin crepe. Cook for 1-2 minutes per side, or until golden brown.
  4. **Fill and fold:** Spread 2-3 tablespoons of the cheese filling onto the center of each crepe. Fold the sides inward, then roll up tightly.
  5. **Heat the filling (optional):** For extra warm filling, microwave the prepared filling for 1-2 minutes before filling the crepes.
  6. **Serve:** Serve the blintzes immediately. Garnish with a dollop of sour cream, strawberry preserves, and a sprinkle of powdered sugar. Enjoy!
