Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup skim milk
• 2 large eggs
• 0.25 cup water
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup non-fat plain Greek yogurt
• 0.5 cup low-fat cream cheese
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0 vegetable oil spray
• 1 cup fresh strawberries
• 2 teaspoons honey

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, milk, eggs, water, sugar, and salt until smooth to form the blintz batter.

Step 2

In another bowl, mix the Greek yogurt, low-fat cream cheese, lemon zest, and vanilla extract until creamy to create the filling.

Step 3

Spray a non-stick skillet lightly with vegetable oil spray and heat over medium heat.

Step 4

Pour about 1/4 cup of batter into the skillet, swirling to create a thin, even layer.

Step 5

Cook for 1-2 minutes until the edges start to lift. Flip and cook for an additional 1 minute. Transfer to a plate. Repeat with the remaining batter.

Step 6

Place about 2 tablespoons of the cheese mixture along one edge of a blintz. Fold the sides over the filling and roll up. Repeat with remaining blintzes.

Step 7

Heat the skillet again with a quick spray of vegetable oil. Cook the filled blintzes for an additional 2 minutes on each side until golden brown.

Step 8

Slice fresh strawberries and mix them with honey, stirring gently.

Step 9

Serve blintzes warm, drizzled with the strawberry and honey mixture.
