Blintz Souffle made with Greek Yogurt

My long term friend, Connie Inukai, made the incredible blintz souffle with sour cream.  Since sour cream is not in our diet, I use nonfat Greek yogurt. The sour cream version is most delicious. Connie put the ingredients in a blender and poured it over the frozen blintzes.  I include 2 blintzes per person and double or triple the recipe for a crowd. For my husband and me, I make the souffle with 6 blintzes and substitute Greek yogurt for the sour cream. We enjoy reheating leftovers in the microwave.

Mix the following in the blender on high speed until airy looking:

1 cup of nonfat Greek yogurt (or sour cream)

4 eggs

1/4 cup orange juice

1/4 cup sugar

2 Tablespoons melted butter

2 Tablespoons vanilla extract

We eat about 2 blintzes plus batter per person and love any leftovers.

After blending, pour the batter over the frozen blintzes into a baking dish.

Bake at 350 F for 45 minutes.

Served immediately from the oven, the souffle is puffy and has a beautiful color. This recipe is linked to many wonderful memories of friends and family!

Cake in a Cup

I saw Lee Drummond bake a single serving cake in a mug and had to try her recipe. I modified the recipe and increased the time as our microwave is 700 watt. My sister was surprised to learn that the cake rises and she suggested it would be great torn up in a triffle or strawberry shortcake.

I modified the recipe for a vanilla cake in a mug as follows:

1/4 cup flour
3 Tablespoons sugar (I used only 1 Tablespoon)
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
3 Tablespoons of Milk
2 Tablespoons of oil (I used only 1 Tablespoon of canola oil)
2 teaspoons of vanilla
1 strawberry or equivalent fruit (optional)

Using a fork, mix the dry ingredients in a microwave proof cup (flour, sugar, baking powder). Add the liquid ingredients and mix with the same fork.

Microwave for 90 seconds (110 seconds for a 700 watt microwave.)
