Cheese for Blintzes - CLICK HERE for the Cooking Forum Index
Andy Katz
Hi everyone,

I'm going to have to take Sunday the 18th off to do a personal
errand, so the owner and I decided just to do the French toast for
brunch (these pan fry slowly, so she can put them and then attend to
other business). We're also thinking of doing blintzes. I can make
them Friday and then all she'd have to do is gently panfry, add
blueberry sauce and serve.

I'm thinking of using farmer cheese as the base, then maybe a
bit of cream or mascarpone (which we already have in the larder) for
richness and mouthfeel, vanilla or vanilla sugar, eggs, salt ... the
usual. I see many people use citrus zest, lemon or orange, as well.

Would that be worthwhile?

I don't envision anything fancy with the crepes, but we'll
cover them with a blueberry sauce.

TIA

First, I think Andy has good chances of coming up with a decent filling on
his own with the ingredients that were listed. But here's Kay Hartman's
recipe for the cheese filling, which I've always liked:

====================BEGIN QUOTE=======================
2 1/2 pounds hoop cheese
2 pounds farmer cheese
5 eggs
Scant 1/2 cup sugar
1/2 tablespoon vanilla

Aunt Irene says you can also throw in a little cream cheese if you
want. We did not do so when made the blintzes together.

In a bowl, combine the two cheeses. Beat the eggs and mix them into
the cheese mixture. The amount of egg should be just enough to bind
the cheese. Mix in the sugar and vanilla.
=====================END QUOTE========================

Thanks Bob & Margaret.

Simplicity would be a very good thing here, and I do tend to overdue.


One question, "hoop" cheese?

What's that?

Like cottage or ricotta, but drier.
