Crepes(Blintzes) with Ricotta Cheese filling and Peach Sauce
Blintzes are Eastern European breakfast delight made with crepes and filled with any sweet or savory filling. Very similar to the Strawberry Blintzes ,these peach sauce blintzes make a fruity ,cheesy and filling breakfast. I use Grass-Fed Butter in the recipe,which is known to be healthier than ordinary butter(will blog more about its benefits in another post). The peach sauce is so easy to make ,as long as you have very ripe peaches and sweet ,there is absolutely no need to add any more sugar.

Heat a non-stick medium size pan. Slightly grease(with butter) the pan using a kitchen towel and pour a ladle full of the crepe batter into the pan,tilt it ,to spread the batter around the pan until the mixture sets. Place back onto the heat and wait until small bubbles appear on the surface, then flip the crepe over. Cook for a few seconds on the other side and remove from the pan with a spatula. Repeat the same for the rest of the batter.
Make the Cheese Filling
Prepare the filling by whipping together cheese,sweetener and vanilla in a blender until creamy smooth.

To Assemble the blintz,spoon about a tablespoon of the ricotta cream mixture over the center of each crepe. Fold the opposite sides of the wrapper over the filling. Lay them on a plate,seam side down.Finish assembling all of the blintzes.
