15 minute Cheese Blintz Pancake

Growing up, my Dad would always go to Costco and buy the best cheese blintzes. These thin, crepe-like pancakes are filled with delicious cheese and usually topped with fruit preserves or jam. Frankly, they’re one of the most delicious things ever, but they are time consuming to make.

The other morning I was flipping through EveryDay with Rachel Ray and I saw a recipe for Cheese Blintz Hotcakes. The recipe made me nostalgic (my Dad became a vegan a few years ago ergo we haven’t had too many blintz’s in our family lately). I decided to get creative and give it go and what I discovered was UNBELIEVABLE.

To my surprise, these pancakes tasted just like a cheese blintz! It was super crispy and buttery on the edges yet perfectly soft and gooey on the inside. The best part of it all? It was much quicker (it only took about 15 minutes) from start to finish.

Oh and as a bonus, I used a fair amount of cottage cheese which makes this a PROTEIN PACKED pancake. So you can feel good about starting your day with it 🙂

15 minute Cheese Blintz Pancake

This is super crispy and buttery on the edges yet perfectly soft and gooey on the inside- you'll love it!

Course: Breakfast

Cuisine: American

Keyword: Cheese, Cottage Cheese, Pancakes, Protein Pancakes

Servings: 4

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup Flour
• 2 Eggs
• 1/4 cup Milk
• 1 1/2 tbsp Sugar
• 1/4 tsp Baking Powder
• 1 cup Cottage Cheese
• Butter for cooking pancakes

Instructions

• Mix the flour, eggs, milk, sugar and baking powder together in a blender on low for like 10-15 seconds (until combined). If you don’t have a blender, use a whisk.
• Add the cottage cheese and blend until it’s mixed in (you want a little texture, but not too chunky). This will take about another 10 seconds on low.
  
•  In a pan or griddle, melt about 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Once heated up, drop 1/8 of your batter onto the pan to form each pancake and cook for about 3 minutes (or when it’s golden) and then flip. Do this in batches and repeat until all your pancakes are made.
  

If you want them perfect, you may need to stop after your 2nd or 3rd batch to clean the pan and add more butter.

Give this one a try any day of the week! I promise it will become a breakfast staple.

Love always,
