Ingredients

• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Milk
• 1 Large egg
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
• 0.25 cup Water
• 1 cup Low sodium cottage cheese
• 0.5 cup Ricotta cheese
• 1 Egg yolk
• 2 tablespoons Sugar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter, for cooking

Directions

Step 1

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, milk, egg, melted butter, and water until smooth. This is the batter for the crepes. Set aside to rest for about 10 minutes.

Step 2

For the filling, in a separate bowl, combine the low sodium cottage cheese, ricotta cheese, egg yolk, sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and well-integrated.

Step 3

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat and lightly coat it with a small amount of unsalted butter. Pour about 1/4 cup of the crepe batter into the pan, swirling the pan to distribute the batter evenly. Cook for about 1-2 minutes, or until the crepe edges look dry and the bottom is lightly golden.

Step 4

Carefully flip the crepe with a spatula and cook for an additional 30 seconds. Remove the crepe to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter, adding butter to the pan as needed.

Step 5

Once all the crepes are cooked, place about 2 tablespoons of the cheese filling in the center of each crepe. Fold each side in over the filling, then roll the crepe up to enclose the filling.

Step 6

Heat a little more butter in the skillet over medium heat and add the filled blintzes seam-side down. Cook until the blintzes are lightly golden and warmed through, about 2-3 minutes per side.

Step 7

Serve the cheese blintzes warm. They can be accompanied with fresh fruit, low-sodium jam, or a dollop of sour cream if desired.
