Ingredients

• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 1.5 cups Milk
• 3 Eggs
• 1 tablespoon Sugar
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 2 tablespoons Butter (melted)
• 8 ounces Cream cheese (softened)
• 1 cup Cottage cheese
• 1 Egg yolk
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoons Butter (for cooking and greasing)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, milk, eggs, sugar, and salt to form a smooth batter. Make sure there are no lumps.

Step 2

Stir in the melted butter to the batter and let it rest for 10 minutes.

Step 3

Meanwhile, prepare the filling by combining the cream cheese, cottage cheese, egg yolk, vanilla extract, and powdered sugar in a bowl. Mix until smooth and set aside.

Step 4

Heat a small non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat. Lightly grease the pan with butter.

Step 5

Pour about 2-3 tablespoons of batter onto the pan and swirl it to form a thin crepe. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the edges start to lift and the bottom is golden. Flip carefully and cook the other side for 20-30 seconds.

Step 6

Transfer the cooked crepe to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the pan as needed. This should yield approximately 10-12 crepes.

Step 7

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a baking dish with butter.

Step 8

To assemble, place a crepe on a flat surface. Spread about 2 tablespoons of the cheese filling in the center and roll the crepe into a log shape, tucking in the sides if desired.

Step 9

Arrange the filled crepes seam-side down in the prepared baking dish.

Step 10

Dot the tops of the crepes with small cubes of butter and cover the dish with aluminum foil.

Step 11

Bake for 20 minutes to heat through. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes for a lightly browned top.

Step 12

Serve warm with sour cream, fruit preserves, or a dusting of powdered sugar.
