Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 3 large Eggs
- 1 cup Milk
- 1 cup Cottage cheese
- 0.5 cup Greek yogurt
- 0.25 cup Whey protein powder
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon Protein powder (optional, for extra protein)
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Make a well in the center and add the eggs, milk, and 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil.
Whisk the mixture until smooth and let it rest for 10 minutes.
For the filling, mix the cottage cheese, Greek yogurt, whey protein powder, vanilla extract, and honey in a separate bowl. Blend until smooth for a creamy filling.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with butter.
Pour about 3 tablespoons of the batter into the skillet and tilt to spread the batter evenly, forming a thin layer.
Cook for about 1-2 minutes until the underside is lightly golden. Flip and cook the other side for another 1 minute.
Transfer the cooked crepe to a plate and keep it warm. Repeat this process until all the batter is used.
Place about 2 tablespoons of the cheese filling into the center of each crepe. Fold the sides over the filling and roll up.
Heat the remaining butter in the skillet over medium heat. Place the filled blintzes seam-side down in the pan.
Cook the blintzes for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and heated through.
Serve warm, drizzled with extra honey or your favorite topping, and enjoy these protein-packed delights!
