I love blintzes, but making them individually takes time and effort. This baked version is an easy way to prepare this classic dish. The blueberry sauce is sensational.

RECIPE INSTRUCTIONS
1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly coat an 8-inch-square baking dish with cooking spray.

2. To make the batter, purée the eggs, milk, sour cream, vegetable oil, vanilla, flour, sugar and baking powder in the bowl of a food processor until smooth. Pour a little less than half the mixture in the bottom of the dish. Bake for 10 minutes.

3. To make the filling, beat the ricotta and cream cheeses, egg, sugar, lemon zest and juice in the bowl of a food processor or with electric beaters until smooth. Pour over baked blintz mixture. Carefully pour the remaining batter over the filling. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until mixture is no longer loose and top is puffy.

4. To make the sauce combine the orange juice, sugar and cornstarch in a small skillet over medium heat. Whisk until the cornstarch is dissolved. Bring to a boil, then simmer on low heat for 3 minutes or until mixture is thicker and clear. Add the lemon juice and blueberries and cook for 2 minutes. Serve over the blintz soufflé.
