Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup skim milk
- 2 large eggs
- 0.25 cup water
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup non-fat plain Greek yogurt
- 0.5 cup low-fat cream cheese
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- vegetable oil spray
- 1 cup fresh strawberries
- 2 teaspoons honey
Instructions
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, milk, eggs, water, sugar, and salt until smooth to form the blintz batter.
In another bowl, mix the Greek yogurt, low-fat cream cheese, lemon zest, and vanilla extract until creamy to create the filling.
Spray a non-stick skillet lightly with vegetable oil spray and heat over medium heat.
Pour about 1/4 cup of batter into the skillet, swirling to create a thin, even layer.
Cook for 1-2 minutes until the edges start to lift. Flip and cook for an additional 1 minute. Transfer to a plate. Repeat with the remaining batter.
Place about 2 tablespoons of the cheese mixture along one edge of a blintz. Fold the sides over the filling and roll up. Repeat with remaining blintzes.
Heat the skillet again with a quick spray of vegetable oil. Cook the filled blintzes for an additional 2 minutes on each side until golden brown.
Slice fresh strawberries and mix them with honey, stirring gently.
Serve blintzes warm, drizzled with the strawberry and honey mixture.
