Brie and Cranberry Blintzes are a mouth-watering combination of sweet and savory flavors that will leave your taste buds begging for more. This dish is perfect for breakfast, brunch, or even as a dessert. The blintzes are made with a thin crepe-like batter that is filled with creamy brie cheese and tart cranberry sauce. The blintzes are then folded and pan-fried until golden brown and crispy.
Ingredients (serves 4):
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup milk
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 8 oz brie cheese, cut into small pieces
- 1 cup cranberry sauce
- Powdered sugar, for dusting
Cooking Tips:
- Make sure to use a non-stick pan to prevent the blintzes from sticking.
- Use a ladle to pour the batter into the pan, and swirl the pan to spread the batter evenly.
- Let the blintzes cool for a few minutes before serving to prevent the filling from oozing out.
Instructions:
1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, milk, eggs, salt, and melted butter until smooth.
2. Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Pour 1/4 cup of the batter into the pan and swirl to spread the batter evenly. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the edges start to curl up and the bottom is golden brown. Flip the blintz and cook for another 30 seconds. Repeat with the remaining batter.
3. To assemble the blintzes, place a spoonful of brie cheese and cranberry sauce in the center of each blintz. Fold the sides over the filling and then fold the bottom up and the top down to create a square-shaped package.
4. Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Place the blintzes in the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
5. Serve the blintzes hot, dusted with powdered sugar.
