Bacon And Cheese Blintzes Recipes

BACON AND CHEESE BLINTZES

Steps:

• In small bowl, beat Bisquick mix, milk, melted butter and 2 of the eggs with wire whisk until blended. In 6- to 7-inch skillet or crepe pan, heat 1 tablespoon butter over medium heat until bubbly. For each crepe, pour 2 tablespoons batter into skillet. Immediately tilt and rotate skillet until batter covers bottom. Cook until light brown. Run wide spatula around edge to loosen; turn and cook other side until light brown. Stack crepes with waxed paper between each; keep covered.
• In medium bowl, beat remaining 6 eggs and the whipping cream with fork or whisk until blended. Stir in cream cheese, 1/4 cup of the onions, the salt and pepper. In 12-inch skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of the butter over medium heat just until it begins to sizzle. Add egg mixture; cook 3 to 4 minutes, stirring frequently but not constantly, until eggs are thickened throughout but still moist.
• Spoon 3 tablespoons egg mixture in center of each crepe. Sprinkle with bacon. Fold sides and ends of crepe over filling to form rectangle. In same skillet, melt 1 tablespoon butter over medium heat. Add 5 blintzes, seam side down, to skillet; cook 1 to 2 minutes, turning once, until golden brown. Remove to serving platter. Repeat with remaining 1 tablespoon butter and 5 blintzes. Sprinkle with Cheddar cheese and remaining onions.

CHEESE BLINTZES

Steps:

• For the crepe: Beat milk, eggs and 1 cup water in a bowl. Add flour and powdered sugar to make a thin batter.
• Pour 1/4 cup batter on a well-buttered medium hot 10-inch fry pan, spreading it as thin as possible. Fry until light brown, then flip and brown other side until light brown. Turn out on wax paper. Repeat with remaining batter.
• For the cheese filling: Mix ricotta, cream cheese, eggs, powdered sugar and vanilla in a bowl. Spread evenly over the surface of a crepe. Tuck in ends and roll up. Cook in butter in a fry pan until brown on both sides. Repeat with remaining crepes and filling.
• Serve with sour cream and fruit preserves.

TRADITIONAL CHEESE BLINTZES

Steps:

• Beat eggs in a bowl. Add milk, oil, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Beat in flour using an electric mixer until well blended. Let batter stand for 15 to 30 minutes.
• Mix the remaining 1 teaspoon salt, cottage cheese, sugar, sour cream, egg yolk, and cinnamon together in a bowl to make the filling.
• Melt butter in a 6- to 7-inch skillet. Spoon a portion of the batter onto the skillet; cook until lightly browned on the bottom, about 3 minutes. Turn out onto a tea towel. Repeat with the remaining batter, thinning with small amounts of water if necessary and greasing the pan after every 2 to 3 blintzes.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet.
• Melt the remaining butter in the skillet over low heat, about 1 minute.
• Place a blintz on a clean work surface with the uncooked side up. Add 1 tablespoon filling and roll up, completely covering the filling. Place on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining blintzes. Brush filled blintzes with melted butter.
• Bake in the preheated oven until brown, 15 to 20 minutes.

CHEESE & BACON TURNOVERS

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Unravel the pastry on the sheet of baking parchment it comes with, and cut into six squares. Mix the soft cheese with the mustard, if using, and a good grinding of black pepper. Divide between the middles of the pastry squares, and smooth over in a diagonal line from one corner to the opposite side.
• Lay a bacon rasher over the soft cheese, then scatter over the cheese. Brush the two exposed corners of pastry with beaten egg, and fold over the top of the filling to join together. Brush the tops with more egg, then slide the baking parchment on to a baking sheet and bake for 15-20 mins until the cheese has melted and the pastry is golden.
• Transfer to a cooling rack for 5-10 mins before serving warm. Will keep chilled in an airtight container for two-three days.
