I made this a few months back and forgot to post the review (for shame!). My mother and I have a Jewish background so she loves blintzes. This was the perfect dish for the birthday brunch I gave her. Easy and delicious! Thanks for posting this recipe, Mirj.

Hi, I noticed that this recipe had allot of calories. So I came up with a very low fat, low carbohydrate way to make this Blintz. I used egg substitute instead of whole eggs, I used Splenda instead of Sugar, I used Fat free Cream Cheese, Fat free Cottage cheese and no fat butter. Instead of Flour I used Soy Flour, which only has 9 grams of Carb's. I cooked it all up the same way and wala! Guilt free eating while watching my waistline. And the taste is probably a lot lighter then you would expect, but if you use a little Jelly for the topping and some Powdered sugar on top, you are still in for a treat:)
