Pear and Gorgonzola Blintzes: A Delicious Twist on a Classic Dish
Looking for a unique and flavorful twist on traditional blintzes? Look no further than these delicious Pear and Gorgonzola Blintzes! This dish combines the sweet, juicy flavor of ripe pears with the tangy, creamy taste of Gorgonzola cheese, all wrapped up in a delicate, savory crepe.
To make this dish, you'll need the following ingredients:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 2 eggs
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 2 ripe pears, peeled and diced
- 1/2 cup crumbled Gorgonzola cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped walnuts
- 1 tablespoon honey
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Olive oil, for cooking
To start, make the crepes by whisking together the flour, salt, milk, eggs, and melted butter until smooth. Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and lightly coat with olive oil. Pour about 1/4 cup of the batter into the skillet and swirl to coat the bottom. Cook until the edges start to curl and the bottom is lightly browned, then flip and cook for another 30 seconds or so. Repeat with the remaining batter, stacking the crepes on a plate as you go.
Next, make the filling by combining the diced pears, Gorgonzola cheese, chopped walnuts, honey, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the filling onto each crepe, then fold the sides in and roll up tightly.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add a bit of olive oil. Place the blintzes seam-side down in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, until golden brown and crispy. Serve hot, garnished with additional chopped walnuts and a drizzle of honey.
These Pear and Gorgonzola Blintzes are the perfect combination of sweet and savory, with a creamy, tangy filling and a delicate, crispy crepe. They make a great appetizer or main dish, and are sure to impress your guests with their unique and delicious flavor.
