Ingredients

• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Milk
• 2 Large eggs
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
• 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Ricotta cheese
• 4 ounces Cream cheese, softened
• 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 cup Strawberries, hulled and chopped
• 1 cup Rhubarb, diced
• 0.25 cup Water
• 0.33 cup Granulated sugar (for compote)
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (for frying)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, milk, eggs, melted butter, granulated sugar, and salt until smooth and no lumps remain. Let the batter rest for 10 minutes.

Step 2

While the batter rests, prepare the cheese filling. In a small bowl, mix together the ricotta cheese, cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Set aside.

Step 3

To make the strawberry rhubarb compote, combine the strawberries, rhubarb, water, and granulated sugar in a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the fruit breaks down and the mixture thickens slightly, about 10-15 minutes. Set aside to cool.

Step 4

Heat a nonstick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat. Lightly grease the pan with a small amount of butter.

Step 5

Pour 1/4 cup of batter into the pan and swirl to spread it into a thin, even layer. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the edges start to lift and the bottom is lightly golden. Flip and cook for another 30 seconds. Repeat with the remaining batter, stacking the crepes on a plate and covering with a clean towel to keep warm.

Step 6

To assemble the blintzes, place a crepe on a clean work surface. Spoon 2 tablespoons of the cheese filling onto the lower third of the crepe. Fold the bottom edge up over the filling, then fold the sides in, and roll up to form a neat packet. Repeat with remaining crepes and filling.

Step 7

In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the filled blintzes seam side down and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown and heated through.

Step 8

Serve the blintzes warm, topped with the strawberry rhubarb compote. Enjoy!
