Equipment

1 9x13 Casserole

Ingredients

Egg Mixture

¼ pound butter softened
⅓ cup sugar
1 ½ cups sour cream
6 eggs
½ cups orange juice
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 cup flour can use gluten-free flour

Filling

8 ounces cream cheese cut up or softened
1 pint cottage cheese
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 egg yolks
1 tablespoon sugar

Instructions

Egg Mixture

Preheat the oven to 350℉.
Prepare a 9x13 pan by spraying it with nonstick cooking spray or coating it with butter.
In a blender, food processor, electric mixer, or by hand, combine the butter, sugar, eggs, sour cream, orange juice, flour, and baking powder.
Pour ½ of the mixture into the prepared pan.

Filling

Combine the filling ingredients in a large bowl.
Spoon the filling by heaping tablespoons over the batter.
Spread lightly.
Pour the remaining batter over the filling.
Bake uncovered at 350℉ for 50-60 minutes until puffed and golden.

Notes

Storage - the blintz souffle can be stored in the refrigerator once fully cooked and cooled. Simply cover the baking dish with aluminum foil or plastic wrap and it will stay fresh for up to 3 days in the refrigerator.

Reheating - to reheat it, heat the souffle at 300℉ until warmed through.

Freezing - To freeze the casserole, you’ll want to transfer it to a freezer-safe container. It can stay in the freezer for up to 2 months once fully cooked or up to a week uncooked. To enjoy it, let it thaw in the fridge overnight and then reheat it slowly at a low oven temperature.

Butter - make sure the butter you use is softened so that it blends well into the mixture.

Baking - keep an eye on the casserole towards the end of the baking time. The top should be a beautiful golden brown color.
