Ingredients

Mushroom-Onion Filling

  • 2 tablespoons butter

  • 1 large onion, sliced

  • 10 ounces cremini or button mushrooms, sliced

  • 3 cloves garlic, chopped

  • 3 sprigs thyme

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Blintz Souffle

  • cracked Gefen Black Pepper

  • 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan

  • 2 sprigs fresh thyme (leaves only)

Directions

Prepare the Blintz Soufflé

1.

Sauté the onion, mushrooms, garlic and thyme in the butter over a medium flame until tender, seasoning with the salt. Set aside.

2.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

3.

Grease a 10-inch pie plate and sprinkle a handful of shredded cheese into the bottom of the dish. Cut each potato blintz into four slices. Lay blintzes over the cheese in the dish. Top with mushroom and onion mixture, pushing some gently between the blintz slices as well. Sprinkle remaining cheese evenly over the top.

4.

In a bowl, whisk the eggs, half and half, salt and pepper. Slowly pour over all of the layered components in the pie plate.

5.

Bake for 40 minutes. Remove from oven, sprinkle thyme and parmesan cheese over the top and return to oven for five more minutes.

6.

Remove from oven and allow to settle 10 minutes before serving.

Notes:

  • May be made in advance. Freezes beautifully.  • After eating Parmesan cheese, one must wait six hours before eating meat. See more on this, including a list of all hard cheeses that require waiting, here.

Substitutions Hey I dont have ready made blintzes where I live (israel) and this looks heavenly but I dont think I’ll be making blintzes from scratch either… (hence I love your recipes) so do you think I can make this with frozen potato bourekas?? or will that be gross? should i maybe parbake them?

I live in Yerushalayim, and you can get ready made potato and cheese blintzes. I don’t know where you live, but you can usually find in the frozen departments of large stores like Osher Ad, Yesh, Ramy Levi, etc. You can also find ready made blintz pages and then just make the filling. Frozen bourekas are made with puff pastry dough and it will probably become soggy or fall apart.

Frozen potato borkeas are very different than blintzes because they are made with puff pastry as opposed to a blintz which is more like a crepe. You can try it but I am not sure how the recipe will come out.
