Description
These strawberry blintzes are just like crepes stuffed with creamy ricotta cheese and fresh sweet strawberries. A perfectly simple strawberry breakfast.
Ingredients
- Crepes or Swedish Pancakes – 4 medium/large
- Ricotta cheese, about 1 cup
- Frozen or fresh strawberries, about 1 heaping cup
- Strawberry jam
- Cream
Instructions
- Make the crepes.
- In a food processor, blend half of the strawberries with the ricotta cheese. Add a little sugar or strawberry jam to sweeten (to your desired tastes).
- Fill the crepes with 2 mini scoops of the ricotta cream mixture, and fold them over on the tops and sides. Place them in a greased baking dish, seam side down. Bake at 400 degrees for about 15 minutes.
- In the food processor, blend the rest of the strawberries with a little sugar or strawberry jam to make a strawberry sauce.
- Plate the blinchikes and top with a spoonful of strawberry sauce. Add a drizzle of cream!
Notes
As usual, I used a few standby items. For one, I did not make crepes from scratch. I had a box of Swedish pancake mix. It worked fine. Also, I used cottage cheese instead of ricotta. It worked fine, but I think the texture of ricotta would have been better. And lastly… french vanilla coffee creamer was used instead of cream. But hey, it came out tasting delicious!
