This is a recipe that I've been making for about 35 years. It's perfect for dessert, brunch, or a light supper when I have the neighborhood girls over for a game night. ** You can use all cheese, or sometimes I'll alternate cheese with one of the fruit flavors (my favorite is apple) ** EASY **

To my surprise, the packages of frozen blintzes are much smaller than they used to be when I first started making this over 30 years ago (each package was 13 oz.) Luckily I had bought 3 packages of them when I recently made this, because I needed to use 18 blintzes instead to fill my 9x13" pan ~ so I used 1-1/2" times the amount of the rest of the ingredients (so that all of the blintzes would be covered with liquid when I baked them). I'll add the revised amounts at the bottom of the recipe.
BLINTZ SOUFFLE Casserole
12 (2 pkg) frozen blintzes (can use all cheese, or alternate cheese with blueberry, cherry or apple ~ don't use all fruit or it will be too sweet for a brunch main dish) ~ I found them in the International part of the frozen food section, but could also be by the frozen breakfast foods.
1/2 cup butter (1 stick)
4 eggs
1/4 cup sugar
1-1/2 cups sour cream
1-1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp cinnamon
***
Melt butter in 9x13” pan. Place blintzes in single layer in pan. Roll and coat each with melted butter. Combine remaining ingredients; beat until smooth. Pour on top of blintzes. (May be prepared the night ahead to this point; cover and refrigerate) Bake uncovered for 45-60 minutes at 350. …
Can be served as a dessert or brunch ~ You could serve with side dishes of sour cream and preserves, if you want (but not necessary). If I'm serving it for brunch (or even a light dinner when I'm having the neighborhood women over for a Girls' Game night), then I serve a green salad with it.
Lighter eaters may only eat 1, but men or teenage boys may eat 3 as a meal, so judge accordingly as to how many this will serve ~ 1 should be enough for dessert, especially if you put sour cream or fresh whipped cream on top (sliced strawberries on the cheese blintzes ~ maybe a drizzle of caramel syrup or Heath bits on the apple blintzes)

REVISED AMOUNTS for packages of smaller blintzes:
3 (13 oz.) packages (I used 2 cheese and 1 apple) = 18 blintzes
12 TB butter, melted...……………………………………...6 eggs
1/3 cup sugar...………………………………………………...2-1/4 cups sour cream
2-1/4 tsp. vanilla extract...………………………………..3/4 tsp. cinnamon
Proceed as above to prepare recipe (although I also sprayed the sides of my 9x13" pan with buttery non-stick spray)
