forgot one thing, the recipe serving size is 6 – but this definitely is for more than that.
First of all, it was delicious. My husband smelled it as he walked in the door and couldn’t wait to eat it. I halved the recipe – as we are only 2 – which was easy enough and made it in a pie dish. I found the “use half” for the base and “half” for the topping a little challenging as it is hard to figure out half. I baked it at 350 for 45 minutes and it was done perfectly. One note: it is fattening, despite the cheese.
I would go with fresh fruit, but that is just me. I think it would be easiest to double it if you have a large pan, if not make 2. Let us know what you go with and share a picture if you remember.
I have 15 people coming for brunch this week, is it better to make 2 of these or double the recipe so it’s bigger? I’m planning on serving it with fresh fruit however the original recipe I had were you use blintz eps was served with different flavored pie fillings. Hmm, so many decisions, so much good food!
I made this recipe exactly as written. When I checked it after 45 minutes, it was very soupy and had not set up at all. I had guests waiting to eat. Put it back in the oven and turned up the heat to 375. It’s now been in the oven 55 minutes and it’s still not set. I think this needs to be baked at 350 degrees for the 45 minutes???
