Blintzes are the rolled Jewish pancakes that are rolled around a sweet cheese filling. They are often served for a dairy supper or for breakfast, brunch. Green Valley Creamery have taken all the goodness and tasty goodness of the traditional blintz and turned it into a soufflé. It’s a lot less work, lactose-free, gluten free and low FODMAP.
