Ingredients (serves 4):
For the blintzes:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup milk
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 2 tbsp butter, melted
For the filling:
- 2 large onions, thinly sliced
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1 cup grated Gruyere cheese
For the sauce:
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
Instructions:
1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, milk, eggs, salt, and melted butter until smooth. Let the batter rest for 10 minutes.
2. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sliced onions, salt, and black pepper, and cook until the onions are caramelized and golden brown, about 20-25 minutes.
3. In a separate bowl, mix together the grated Gruyere cheese and caramelized onions.
4. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Pour 1/4 cup of the blintz batter into the skillet and swirl it around to coat the bottom of the pan. Cook until the edges start to curl up and the bottom is golden brown, about 1-2 minutes. Flip the blintz over and cook for an additional 30 seconds. Repeat with the remaining batter.
5. To assemble the blintzes, place a spoonful of the onion and cheese filling in the center of each blintz. Fold the sides of the blintz over the filling and then roll it up tightly.
6. In a small bowl, whisk together the sour cream, milk, salt, and black pepper to make the sauce.
7. Serve the blintzes hot with a dollop of the sour cream sauce on top.
