You will be surprised how easy it is to get the taste of blintzes in a super simple, make ahead, not rolling, soufflé. We really like making these in ramekins so that everyone can have what they like in the filling. With picky eaters around, recipes like these make it easy to modify for each taste.
You can even go sweet or savory with the filling, prep ahead and bake fresh in the morning or bake ahead and eat room temp or reheated.

Does this need to be prepared and served right away (as soufflé’s sometimes do)?
No, it’s not that kind of soufflé.
I would think both should work. The main difference can be in fat content, curd size and salt, so just pay attention to what you choose, but I think they will all work.
For the sweet or savory blintz soufflé, may farmer cheese substitute for cottage cheese or ricotta?

Is the cook time the same for a 9×5 pan? I don’t have 8 ramekins!
It will probably take longer, check the middle to make sure it is all set before removing from the oven.
