How to Make Overnight Cheesy Brunch Blintz

Grease a 13 x 9-inch baking pan with butter.
In a medium bowl, combine 16 ounces (2 cups) cottage cheese, 2 large egg yolks, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons vanilla extract, and 1 cup mascarpone cheese. Mix well and set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk together 1 cup sour cream, 1/2 cup mascarpone cheese, 2 large eggs, 1/4 cup orange juice, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) melted unsalted butter, and 1/3 cup granulated sugar until well combined.
Add 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract to the wet ingredients. Beat until just combined. Do not overmix.
Pour half of the batter into the prepared baking pan.
Drop spoonfuls of the cottage cheese mixture evenly over the batter. Gently spread to cover.
Pour the remaining batter over the filling.
Cover the pan tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 8-24 hours.
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Bake the chilled casserole for 50-65 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed.
Let cool slightly before sprinkling with powdered sugar and serving with maple syrup.
