Quick Cheese Blintzes

Traditional cheese blintzes involved making crepes.  This is a quick and more modern version using plain, old white bread – less mess and fuss…and very tasty for breakfast! 

INGREDIENTS:

1 (1 pound) loaf white bread 4 tablespoons white sugar 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon 2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened

2 tablespoons milk         1 teaspoon vanilla extract         1/2 cup butter, melted         1 pint sour cream

DIRECTIONS:

	Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a cookie sheet generously with non-stick cooking spray.
	In a small bowl, combine sugar and cinnamon.
3.	Trim crusts from bread. Roll the slices flat. This shows you the difference in thickness after rolling flat.
	In a large mixing bowl, mix softened cream cheese, milk and vanilla until smooth.  Spread this mixture onto each slice of flattened bread.  Roll each bread slice up.  Dip bread/cream cheese rolls in melted butter, roll the blintzes immediately in the sugar-cinnamon mixture. Cut rolls into 1 inch pieces, if you'd like (I left them regular size). Arrange the blintzes on the prepared cookie sheet.
	Bake for 10 minutes. Serve with sour cream (optional).
