Blintzes are a delicious crepe variation often found in Jewish and Eastern European cuisine. They’re basically thin pancakes or crepes, but what makes them special is the sweet filling inside—usually a creamy mixture of ricotta or farmer’s cheese. Once filled, they’re rolled up, lightly pan-fried until golden, and served warm. Consider them a rolled, filled version of a blini.
Blintzes can be enjoyed on their own or topped with a little something extra like fruit compote, sour cream, or a dusting of powdered sugar. They’re a go-to dish for special occasions, but they’re good any time you’re in the mood for something cozy and satisfying.
