Toast Blintzes Recipes

Steps:

• For the topping: Add 1/2 cup of the blueberries to a medium bowl with the sugar, honey, lemon juice and cardamom and let sit, stirring every 10 minutes or so and mashing slightly, until the juices are a vibrant pink color, about 1 hour. Fold in the remaining blueberries, coating them in the sauce until shiny.
• For the blintzes: Meanwhile, in a blender or food processor, combine the milk, flour, salt and eggs and blend until smooth. Let the mixture sit at room temperature for 30 minutes.
• Coat a 9- or 10-inch nonstick skillet with a thin layer of oil and heat over medium heat. Add 1/3 cup batter to the skillet and tilt it so that it distributes evenly into a round. Cook until the top is set and the bottom is slightly browned and pulls away easily from the skillet, 60 to 90 seconds. Use an offset spatula to transfer it to a plate or work surface (correct, you will not be flipping these). Repeat this process, stacking the cooked blintzes and separating them by sheets of parchment paper.
• For the filling: In a bowl, mix together the cream cheese, ricotta, honey, lemon zest and juice, almond extract, cardamom, salt and egg until combined.
• To assemble: Place a blintz browned-side up on a work surface. Spoon 1/4 cup filling slightly below the center line of the blintz. Fold the bottom third of the blintz up over the filling and then fold in the sides. Bring the top third of the blintz down over the filling to seal. Set aside and repeat with the remaining blintzes.
• In a large skillet, heat a thin layer of oil over medium-high heat until shimmering. Fry the blintzes a few at a time until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes on each side, adding additional oil if the needed. Transfer to a serving plate, top with the blueberry sauce and enjoy.

Steps:

• Pour butter in a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Arrange 6 slices of bread on top, overlapping slightly. Combine brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cardamom; sprinkle half of mixture over bread. Top with remaining slices of bread, overlapping slightly. In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, ricotta, salt, vanilla, and lemon zest; pour over bread. Sprinkle with remaining brown-sugar mixture. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Bake, covered with parchment-lined foil, 30 minutes. Uncover; continue baking until browned, 15 minutes more. Top with blueberries and confectioners' sugar; serve.

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs, half-and-half, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt into a homogeneous milky mix. Put half the bread in a 10-inch round or 8 x 12-inch rectangular baking dish and pour half the egg mixture over top. If you partially froze your cream cheese it will crumble easily, so crumble half the cream cheese on top of the bread mixture then top that with half the Sweet Potential. Finish with the remaining bread, egg mixture, cream cheese, and Sweet Potential. Cover with foil and refrigerate overnight, or up to 48 hours.
• The following morning, preheat your oven to 350°F. Combine the sugar and nutmeg and sprinkle it over top of the bread. Refasten the foil, slide the whole thing onto the middle rack of your oven, and bake for 40 minutes. Remove the foil and bake an additional 20 minutes, until crisp and browned. Serve warm.

Steps:

• preheat oven to 375.
• Mix cottage cheese, cinnamon, and sugar.
• Cut 3" rounds into each slice of bread using a cookie cutter.
• Brush top edge of all bread rounds with milk.
• Place 2 tsp cottage cheese mixture in center of one round.
• Place a plain, milk brushed round down over cheese mixture. Press edges together.
• Brush tops with melted butter and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar.
• Bake on cookie sheet in hot oven about 10 minutes or until golden brown.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a cookie sheet generously with non-stick cooking spray.
• Trim crusts from bread and roll the slices flat.
• In a small bowl combine sugar and cinnamon to make a mixture.
• In a large mixing bowl, mix softened cream cheese, milk and vanilla until smooth. Spread this mixture onto each slice of flattened bread. Roll each bread slice up. Dip bread/cream cheese rolls in melted butter, roll the blintzes immediately in the sugar-cinnamon mixture. Cut rolls into 1 inch pieces. Arrange the blintzes on the prepared cookie sheet.
• Bake for 10 minutes. Serve with sour cream.
