A cheese blintz is a thin, delicate crepe stuffed with a sweetened creamy cheese<\/a> mixture, then pan-fried until golden brown. Blintzes have a delicious sweet and savory flavor and make a fantastic breakfast, brunch, or even dessert.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"What<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Blintzes originated in the Ashkenazi Jewish<\/strong> community of Central and Eastern Europe. The word \"blintz\" comes from the Yiddish word \u201cblintse\u201d, which in turn comes from a Slavic word meaning pancake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Like other foods that are now considered quintessentially Jewish, such as knishes and bagels, blintzes started as foods that Jewish communities adapted from their non-Jewish neighbors. Over time, they became a treasured part of Ashkenazi Jewish cuisine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Traditionally, blintzes are filled with sweetened farmer's cheese<\/a> or ricotta cheese<\/a>, especially for the Jewish holiday of Shavuot<\/strong>. Fresh fruit toppings like berry compote or sour cream are also commonly served alongside cheese blintzes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
