Preparation
Chef’s notes
You can use these blintz right away, or refrigerate them for up to 2 days or freeze them between layers of waxed paper for up to 2 months.
Favorite toppings include Sour Cherry Compote, Strawberry-Rhubarb Compote, Strawberry Coulis, or Blackberry Sauce.
The recipe is flexible and can be adjusted to taste, with options for different types of cheese or additional flavorings.
