cheese blintzes

Stuffed thin pancakes

Cheese blintzes are thin pancakes filled with sweetened cheese, typically farmer's cheese or ricotta, then folded and pan-fried until golden.

A staple of Jewish cuisine, especially associated with Shavuot celebrations and delicatessen menus.

Usually served with sour cream, fruit compote, or jam: We ordered cheese blintzes for brunch.
