My dad always requested this special dish for Father's Day; it was his favorite breakfast. You can switch up the fruit you use for the topping —warmed canned peaches are my personal favorite. —Angela Matz, West Allis, Wisconsin

Directions

  1. Whisk eggs and milk. In another bowl, mix flour and salt; add to egg mixture and mix well. Refrigerate, covered, 1 hour.
  2. In a bowl, toss peaches and cherries with sugar. Let stand while preparing blintzes.
  3. Heat a lightly greased 6-in. nonstick skillet over medium heat. Stir batter. Fill a 1/4-cup measure halfway with batter; pour into center of pan. Quickly lift and tilt pan to coat bottom evenly. Cook until top appears dry; turn blintz over and cook 15-20 seconds longer or until bottom is cooked. Remove to a wire rack. Repeat with remaining batter, greasing pan as needed. Meanwhile, in a bowl, beat cottage, cheese, egg, sugar, vanilla and cinnamon until almost smooth. Spoon about 2 tablespoons filling onto each crepe. Fold opposite sides of crepe over filling, forming a rectangular bundle.
  4. On a greased griddle, cook blintzes 3 minutes, seam side down. Turn; cook until golden brown, 3-5 minutes longer. Top with fruit and, if desired, sour cream.
