If you spend any time on my Instagram page, you’ll know that Polish food is comfort food in my house. My husband Lucas is Polish, and over the past (nearly 11!) years, I have come to love and appreciate Polish food for what it is: simple ingredients that come together to feel like a warm hug.

Crepes are one of the foods we eat at Christmas, with either smooth and lucious cottage cheese or farmers cheese inside and syrupy fruit compote ladled over the top. Don’t think these are just a Christmas treat though – we eat them whenever I get the craving.

COTTAGE CHEESE CREPES

INGREDIENTS:

FOR THE CREPES

2 eggs

1/2 cup water

3/4 cup milk

1 cup flour

3 tbsp butter, melted

pinch of salt

FOR THE FILLING

1 container of Cottage Cheese (or farmers cheese)

2/3 cup sugar

1 egg yolk

lemon zest, if you’d like

DIRECTIONS

To Make the Crepes: Combine all of the ingredients together in a blender and pulse on high. Once blended, put the batter in the fridge for at least one hour. Heat a small non-stick pan. Add butter to coat. Pour 1 ounce of batter into the center of the pan and swirl to spread evenly. Cook for 30 seconds and flip. Cook for another 10 seconds and remove. Lay crepes out flat so they can cool. Continue until all batter is gone. To Make the Filling: Mix together the ingredients. If you’d like, you can mix in the blender or with a hand mixer for a smoother filling. Assemble your crepes, top with compote and/or powdered sugar, and enjoy either warm or at room temperature!
