Instructions

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F.

2. Melt Butter: Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a pan over low heat.

3. Prepare Custard: In a mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, orange juice, sugar, vanilla, and sour cream. Add the eggs and mix well, using a fork or an immersion blender to incorporate air into the custard for a fluffy finish.

4. Prepare Baking Pan: Spray an 11-by-7-inch rectangular pan with non-stick cooking spray.

5. Assemble Blintzes: Place the cheese blintzes into the prepared pan.

6. Add Custard: Carefully pour the custard mixture over the blintzes, ensuring they are evenly coated.

7. Top with Cinnamon Sugar: Sprinkle cinnamon sugar on top of the custard-coated blintzes.

8. Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake uncovered for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the custard is set and the top is golden.

9. Serve: Allow the soufflé to cool slightly, then cut into portions and enjoy! Serve with a side of fresh berries or a fruit salad, add a dollop of whipped cream on top, and pair with a hot cup of coffee or a flavored tea, like chai or vanilla.

Notes

Room Temperature Ingredients: Use room temperature eggs and sour cream for a smoother custard mixture.

Even Layering: Arrange the blintzes in a single layer in the baking pan to ensure even cooking.

Monitor Baking: Keep an eye on the soufflé during the last few minutes of baking to prevent over-browning.
