Preparation

Step 1

1. Heat oven to 350.

2. Puree eggs-baking powder until very smooth. Pour 1 1/2 cups into bottom of a sprayed 9x13" baking dish. Bake 10 mins or until set.

3. Combine cheese-lemon juice, spread over bottom layer. Give the remaining batter a brief stir; then very slowly pour it over the cheese to completely cover.

4. Carefully return to the oven, bake 35-40 mins, or until the top is puffed and set. Let rest 10-15 mins. Serve with accompaniments.

So, so easy! All the taste of a blintz without all the work - definite repeater - will make over and over again. Not too sweet - just perfect. Next time will add cinnamon. If no farmer's cheese would use cottage cheese, but liked the texture of the farmer's cheese a lot. Used all lowfat ingredients.
