Making a Blintz Souffle is simpler than you might think. Follow these steps for a successful breakfast:
1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
2. Mix Cream Cheese: In a medium bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add the granulated sugar and continue to mix until well combined.
3. Add Vanilla: Incorporate the vanilla extract into the cream cheese mixture and beat until smooth.
4. Whisk Eggs: In another bowl, beat the eggs until frothy.
5. Combine Ingredients: Slowly add the eggs to the cream cheese mixture and blend until fully combined.
6. Add Flour: Gradually add the milk, flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix until smooth and there are no lumps.
7. Prepare Baking Dish: Pour half of the batter into the prepared baking dish.
8. Add Fruit Preserves: Spoon the fruit preserves evenly over the batter layer, then pour the remaining batter on top.
9. Bake: Place in the preheated oven and bake for about 30 minutes or until the top is golden and puffed up.
10. Cool: Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 10 minutes before slicing.
11. Dust with Powdered Sugar: For a final touch, sprinkle powdered sugar over the top before serving.
