Prep Time: 20 mins
Cook Time: 45 mins
Total Time: 1 hrs 5 mins
Cuisine: Jewish
Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 8 oz cream cheese
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
- Powdered sugar for serving
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese and cottage cheese. Use an electric mixer or a whisk to blend them together until smooth and creamy, making sure there are no lumps.
- In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and sugar until well combined. Gradually add this mixture to the cheese mixture, stirring gently to combine.
- In a separate bowl, sift the all-purpose flour to remove any lumps. Slowly add the flour to the cheese and egg mixture, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Pour the melted butter into the batter and gently fold it in until evenly incorporated.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Once baked, remove the blintz soufflé from the oven and let it cool for about 10 minutes before serving.
- Dust the top with powdered sugar just before serving to add a touch of sweetness and presentation.
- Cut into squares and serve warm. Enjoy your Blintz Soufflé as a delightful dish for Shavuot!
Tips
- Use Room Temperature Ingredients: For the creamiest texture, make sure your cream cheese and cottage cheese are at room temperature before mixing. This will help them blend smoothly without lumps.
- Don’t Overmix: When combining the flour into the batter, mix just until combined. Overmixing can lead to a dense souffle instead of a light and airy one.
- Customize the Sweetness: Feel free to adjust the sugar to your taste. If you prefer a less sweet dish, reduce the sugar by a couple of tablespoons.
- Add a Flavor Twist: Experiment with different extracts like almond or citrus zest to give your Blintz Soufflé a unique flavor profile.
- Serve Warm: This dish is best enjoyed warm, so serve it fresh out of the oven for the ultimate experience.
- Presentation Matters: Dust with powdered sugar just before serving for a beautiful touch that enhances both flavor and presentation.
- Pair with Fresh Fruit: Consider serving your Blintz Soufflé with fresh berries or a fruit compote for a refreshing contrast to the rich flavors.With these tips, you’ll be well on your way to creating a perfect Blintz Soufflé that will delight everyone at your Shavuot gathering!
