I love blini/blintz!! This was my first time making them! Fabulous on it's own, but I added a simple berry compote and it put it over the top. The recipe is super versatile, and I think would lend itself to so many different kinds of toppings. Thanks Ev!!!!

What a wonderful brunch. Just let it bake, while we sat back sipping mimosas! Marinated some fresh strawberries in Grand Marnier which drew out the orange flavor in the souffle. This is now posted in my brunch cookbook, and will be used often!
