Place frozen blintzes in pan, seam side down.

Liquid should partially cover blintzes.

Top with cinnamon. Bake covered approximately 1 hour.

Blintz Souffle

As I have already said, this is my mother’s recipe. Her original called for 3 tablespoons of sugar added to the egg / orange juice mixture. Frozen cheese blintzes tend to already be very sweet, so I omitted this sugar. I think this makes them better.

It’s a really simple recipe. Over the years, the hardest part has been to find frozen blintzes. I use a brand called “Goldens” available at major grocery stores, or a brand called “Kasia’s” which I find at Costco.

Try these for your next breakfast or brunch. If you want them to be more of a dessert, sprinkle powdered sugar on top or serve with fruit pieces.
